engine replacment, 3s vs 5s Options

[Vissi]

Seeing as how my engine is at about 170k miles now and i think he valve stems are going bad im looking into getting a new engine. All the quotes on th valve seals were about 1.2k, and id rather just put that towards a new engine.
If i had a place and time to do the swap i would go with a 3s for sure, but i gotta have a car to drive cause my celi is my only car.

I was wanting to know the price of labor at a shop doing either a direct 5s to 5s swap, or how much it would be for the 3s.
I would eventually turbo the 5s,i just know its a lost cause on the one i have now.
thanks for any info

I just got a new job, so i can finally afford nice stuff

if its just you valves seals, and that is what it sounds like, then a $100 dollar tool (Toyo Tool) is all thats needed and the valve seals themselves. so maybe a total of a $130 bucks and a little labor. mechanics suck, if you were closer and wanted someone else to do it id do it for a quarter of what you would pay a mechanic.
