I have a 94 ST and called a place near me that has a low mileage 3S-GTE for $1900. Seeing as how I have the ST and alot more work is required, he told me he would do it for $5500. Isnt $3600 for labor a bit much? I am sure I could buy the engine and find someone else to do it alot cheaper, but I also want it done right though. Thoughts?

does your guy seriously know what he's doing? cuz if he's a pro and has done it before (or has all the info he needs and knows exactly what to expect), then go for it. or you can do it yourself. plenty of info on this site with a few socal members who have done the 3s swap. if you go that route, do yourself a favor and buy a clip instead of just the engine.
