$1000

B18C1 into a '92 CX

Sucks having parents that won't let you use their garage.

Around here the going rate is about $450 if you have everything.

Honestly- SEARCH I can guarantee you there is more than enough information on this site for you to complete a swap and do the wiring yourself if you have the tools. Don't let the wiring mislead you, its not as difficult as it sounds. Good luck

Edit: and is something doesn't work out while you're doing the swap, come back and ask us - thats what this forum is here for Not only do you save money but if you ever incounter a problem, the odds of you being able to figure it out since you did the swap are much better (even more money saved)
