i would guess about $3000-5000 depending on what parts you used. most shop around here get $60-80 per hour.

Call some of the sponsors. S&P, Speartech and BRP all do installations I believe. If you have to pay someone to do the whole swap, be ready to write a pretty fat check.

You can do it. I did it with almost no prior knowledge of cars in general and without ever taking an auto class. I knew pretty much how an engine worked, and very basic knowledge but I dove in, learned a ton on this website, and now I can count the number of stock parts on my car with one hand. There are a lot of parts that are sold out there for this swap so you can do it without any fabrication. A basic motor/trans swap I dont see as being too hard. You can have an entire built drivetrain with the money you save from doing it yourself. Research it first, buy the right parts and your good to go....Unless you got cash to spend, then screw doin it yourself and leave it to the pros.
