Default How much to charge for a mini me swap?

A guy thats on my local forums wants me to do his mini me swap for him. I'm not sure exactly what to charge him yet. I know it is quite a bit of work to do this and I dont wanna be undercharging him and ripping myself off. Considering he's using my driveway to do this on as well and I need to move quick because I cant have a car standing there for more than a weekend.

he has everything including a conversion harness, ECU and so on.

What would you guys do?

What car exactly are you doing it in with what motor combination? Just cause the amount of work to throw a z6 head on a 92 dx hatch is much less work than throwing a y8 head on a 91 dx sedan ya know?

400 is a hell of a deal, especially since he's to lazy/stupid to do it himself. any regular shop would charge him 1k in labor to swap a blown stock engine.
