Labour for the K swap is Much more intense shop will probably bill you 25 hours @ say $ 50 = $ 1250 in labour

then add alot of extra parts plus motor

all in all a shop built k20 is in the $ 6k -10k now a days
( take into account there is alot of options for the swap in a EK , with subframe swap, axels etc )

also depends if its a junk yard k20a3 or a a2 or type r , etc

A shop swap with a say B18c is $ 3k-4k
labour for this swap is more like 6-10 hours so say $ 500

^^ i think so, 1250 is around what they charge to pull and swap a engine.
k series 6k and up could be less if you get deals on all the parts.

b16b i think is approching 5k alone. b18c5, guy is asking 2500 for a long block over here. but they can be had for a lot less.
