I went to the swap shop near me and they told me it was $1500 for all the labor of the swap, it'll probably vary depending on shops though

doing a swap yourself is the way to go.

just most of the time leave the wiring up to someone else.

just about anyone can bolt in the motor.


just read up make some notes.


and if anything happens like odd noises and so on you can usually figure it ou your self.


unless you are totally new to motors and so on. then just chunk out the bux for that first swap.

or find friends that know what to do.
