Default RSX Engine Swap Labor Cost

I just wanted to get a price check on the cost of labor to swap an engine on my `03 RSX
that has an automatic transmission. Thanks

What are you swapping to? A general bolt in swap...either motor or motor and transmission should run about 6-7 hours of labor. Depending on the rate of the shop (locally they are about $70/hr.) you should expect to pay about $400-$500. If it's a basic in/out swap then any qualified mechanics shop can do it and you don't need a specialist. If you go to Honda, expect to pay $100/hr. If you're in S.W. Florida, let me know and I'd be happy to do the swap.

Good luck!

Try asking some of your friends. A lot of guys Work out of their garage and do things for half the cost as in a shop/honda dealer. My buddy just did my friends sr20det swap into his 240 for 200 bucks. I mean sure you wont get a receipt but you'll save a lot and you can use the extra money for something else
