Default How Much Did Your Swap Cost?

Just wanted to gauge pricing on complete swaps into EF chassis from around the U.S.
What year (88-91)...trim level (DX/LX/EX/Si)....chassis (H/B, CRX, 4-dr.)...what swap did you go with (D16Z6, ZC, B16A, B18C, etc.) as well as what tranny and how much did you spend total on your swap (including labor if you had a shop do it for you).

I'm in the middle of a swap, going to be around 3200 (not including other performance parts).

1989 CRX Si, B16a swap with LSD, Hasport Mounts, Hasport linkage.

A real nice guy I know is doing it for me. This includes free replacement of belts, water pump, wires, etc.

B16a...$5000, but that is not just the swap but misc parts to get to pass CA BAR, and things like batt relocation, replacing water pump, timing belt, etc... It is the little things that add up.
