Cost of a swap, I searched the archives... Options

[ScoobyDooCruiser]

Hey,
I know tons of people are asking about the 3s-gte swap. The only thing I didn't find was info on how much it costs to actually do the swap? I don't know enough to do it on my own, and i was just curious what it would cost to have a shop do the work.

If its already been asked, just someone tell me and i'll search some more.

Also, for those who have done it, are you satisfied with it? And does anyone know of a way to get it throguh the california smog tests, or is it pretty much move out of state?

Thanks

mine's gonna hit about 3k...but that's for the 4agze...but my clip is also 1795...so iono where you get 5k bucks. then again, i'm doin it myself, and i'm not spending 500 dollars on coolant, belts, plugs, etc...that's some expensive ass stuff.....the fuel pump comes w/ the clip, the 2 gauges and pod are gonna be right around 100...sooo, DUDE's estimate is kinda a high estimate...

oh yeah, and my intercooler was 130 shipped. hehe. gotta love the MKiii supra IC. w00t.

but then i have stuff that's not on there too, like a clutch, short shifter, 5spd pedals, etc etc.
