Re: engine swap ripoffs
 

I don't let mechanics touch my cars, they suck.

$5500 for a b swap... if you can find someone dumb enough to pay that, more power to them.

I charge ... oh wait, I work for parts/beer

Re: engine swap ripoffs
 

nope thats what I charged for labor plus I usually got there old motors if i dropped a little bit off the cost. Most so cal shops charge 800 for installs but thats due to the rent out there

Re: engine swap ripoffs
 

$3500 for an engine and a swap isint that bad. if you dont do it yourself expect to pay out the ass. go to a shop and get all your breakpads and rotors changed, $500 dollars. headgasket like instant $900 dollars of labor on an I-4. or getting a clutch installed and ---- like that. 90% of the money saved on hmt setups is the do it yourself factor

Re: engine swap ripoffs
 

well i just want to say that i do all my own work the only time someone else even touched my car is when i got new tires and they fucked that up. i had originally called them to get one of the d series that they swaped out for cheap and they quoted me for a used y8 for 3200 so i asked how much to swap it in and they told me 3500. i never really planned on having it swapped by a shop. then i just decided to ask how much for an ls swap
