that seems a little pricey. I was planning on like 1700-2000 dollars for a motor.

A pretty good secret is save up more and buy from a reputable site, it may cost more but the stuff is quality

i want to AMEN too....watever u do...DO NOT GO TO TURBO EVO IN CHINO....**** those btches......didn't clearance CHIT and they resurfaced my pistons....Y WOULD U DO THAT??? and they didn't even wire rigith....been about 2 yrs and my car still isn't running right.....
ANOTHER advice is to make sure u have plenty of cash just incase something goes wrong w/ the swap....apparently for me $1500 extra wasn't enough....i have rebuild my **** MYSELF..or pay $5000 to SP,BLast, or Signal just for labor
