Hey guys. I talked to a guy this weekend at the World of Wheels show about my Celica. He said that his shop has done a few of the swaps so he knew his stuff when he was tlaking to me...he said he'd do it for 3500 labor if I used stock wiring or 1500 labor if i used a standalone fuel management system instead. Engine will come about 1500 shipped so all in all it's going to be around a 5000 swap. Is that a good price?

I've been doing some canvassing on the labor. So far the most expensive I've ran into is Toysport. they were charging me from $800-1500 in labor.
Thats with every single option that I wanted and probably some customization. With the engine and everything they gave me a $4000 w/ labor already. But damn 3500 for the labor. Where does he work? On the dealer it self? You should have told him that the job is for a car not for an 18 wheeler truck or a Jet  . Depending on Location, a lot of people with know how will do it for less than a thousand or may be 500. Just keep on looking, trust me its worth it. You could use that extra money for other stuff for your car.
