Hi ppl.
How much labor fee would cost to
drop b18 into a shell?
only labor fee.
Yeah.. I know all depends... maybe your local swap shop? something that you know general? that how much should cost?
and situation would be just beginning to end,
like you go shop drop ur stuff and pick up when its done
and i live in CA

its not super hard man.. i've never done a swap before and got my d15b7 in, by myself, in a day.

used a jack and some logs to drop the motor out the bottom of the bay.

So you have a B18 already bolted to the trans and you want them to drop it in and bolt up the mounts, then you do all the wiring, fuel & coolant lines, axles, linkage yourself?

Just dropping it in and bolting it up should take an hour with 2 sets of hands & a picker.

I don't know what shops charger for an hour of labor... $75?
