Default B18 engine swap ?

Okay, first things first; I know there is an engine swap sticky... don't tell me this because the sticky doesn't answer my question.

Anyway, I plan on swapping my D16Z6 for a B18B or a B18C1. All I really want to know is:

Has anybody done either swap and know approximately how much it will cost? I know prices are going to vary, but I'd appreciate if anybody could give me any idea of what it might cost.

1. millions of people have done either swaps
2. if you're asking about how much the swaps are, well that depends where you get your swap from (online, shop, or off someone) either way, it should be around b18b-$1000 to $1500 and a b18c1-$2000 to $3000
3. if you're asking about how much it would be to do the swap, well that depends if you're doing it yourself (free and its really not too hard) or a shop ($500-$1000) depending on the shop and where you live

I paid $1100 for my 1999 B18B1 with 40K, complete swap. Harness, axles, tranny, all sensors, ecu, etc.

LS's are cheap as dirt, and are a good motor if you're planning on basic mods or low boost. It's a good route to go. Especially if you have the audacity to add a gsr/b16a head.
