Message	it's pretty easy. regardless, 3k to swap a motor seems steep. It shouldn't take a good mechanic more than 6 hours to pull that engine tops. If I can do it in 6, so can he. 12 hours for a total swap at even $100 an hour is only $1200. I know it didn't him 30 hours to swap engines. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Member # 42254's 1991 Twin Turbo Sig Quotes: your brillant (n/m) - Zski (Generation Z) 14:36:48 06/17/04 Fat kids will eat anything.
