All together about 3k because I did some maintainence, then little things like engine mounts, oil, tools, etc all add up.

Lol, ya this is the first real work we've ever done on any car. Our experience beforehand was pretty much oil changes and spark plugs. We rented a Chilton's manual from the library and it made the job a LOT easier. Its a must for first time swappers.

I paid about 2500 shipped for the whole engine set, and extra things such as mounts, spark plugs, tools, fluids, all add up to another 300-500 dollars depending on what you buy.

Well, I did the resistor mod thats on youtube, but I haven't taken it above 6500 on the odo since the swap. I was afraid of it being off too.
