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?

Make sure the shop that is doing your swap knows how to deal with the wiring harness conversion. You have problems with electrical issues, if your harness wasn't done right. Like myself, transmission problems. Seriously, if its either your DD or a weekend thing, you're going to want parts in there that can handle a beating. For example a transmission. Spend some money and get a stronger transmission than a s54.
