Depends on which shop you go.

If you have all the parts needed, then they will charge you for labor.

Call the shop you mentioned to get an exact estimate for the swap. That's the best way.

you have the expensive parts, the motor ,harness,trans,ecu, all the acces. shifter box , shifter cables. all the sensors . so it would be super cheap swap if you went outside and got your hands dirty . swaps are easy and it never hurts to jam more info and know how into your brain but you want a shop to do it and shops rates are expensive in my opinion it varys what the shop charges hourly wise, your still going to need swap axles , swap mounts ,engine managment and all the other little odds and ends but you should be able to part out the rest of the RSX and use that money for the swap and break even . goodluck with it man

You're gonna be looking a couple grand. Mounts, K-Pro, custom wiring harness, axles thats about $2,000 alone right there. I don't know if you can use the RSX shifterbox or if you have to buy a custom one but that's another item to tack onto your list if it is.

you dnt need a custom shifter well depends what you mean by custom .
the k series uses cable linkage you need to make a mounting plate where your shift linkage used to be
