it depends on what kind of swap too. 92-95 civics are very easy to swap a b-series in, its plug and play, no hassle's at all with wiring and what not

 

its gonna be a gsr into an ek hatch

okay,do a B16 into a dual-point EF in 3-4 hours......including putting on all new service parts too(water pump,timing belt,ignition parts,clutch,etc...)
anyway,it all depends.if i have a complete engine/tranny,ready to go,about 4 hours for an EG/EK/DC.allow a couple more hours if you have to do service parts on the new engine,lots of wiring(DPFI to MPFI),etc.
if this is your first swap,allow a weekend to do it.could take way less depending on your previous experience.

true, but i think he meant 3-4 hours meaning, taking engine out, putting engine in and getting it to run. but nonetheless, it will take more time depending on what you said.

 

Yea I would definatly think that there should be no reason for a shop to have your car longer than over night. For a pro its definatly a one day deal

 

From jacking the car up till it driving down the street four hours... The tranny itself shouldn't be more than 1.5hours....

 

92-95 3-4 hrs max!

 

3-4 hrs max, if bolts dont break and ****

 

took about 30 minutes for me and B18C1EF to swap a GSR motor into my old 92 EG. Bolt on core support helps quite a bit

 

I could probably get it done within 7 or 8 hours. I know i could do it within a day with chill time and such, if its all together 7-8 sounds right

 

shops usally charge 8-12 hours. being a professional doesnt mean you faster, means you should be doing things by the book.
