real cost of a swap, really need help here everyone Options

[axelrduvirage]

hey y'all,

really need some solid advice here. what can i expect to pay for a 3sgte swap. i have a line on an engine/tranny for a really good price. i've checked-out the shop where the work was done and they seem to have a solid reputation. 45 years in the business and no complaints to the BBB. shop looked tidy and the techs were mature, experienced-looking and friendly. did not specifically mention the engine or what i was looking for, just a general "how's it going, i'm looking for a shop for some work on a car" conversation with the guy behind the desk.

the question here is:

how much can i expect a swap to cost excluding the price of the engine/tranny?
wiring, turbo, wastegate, tuning, dyno tests, piping, intercoolers, how much does that all cost before i can put the car back on the road?

thanks

You don't need to build it fast if you are not planning to race or sport it. Just keep the car clean and perform reg. maintenance and itll do just fine.
