Hey all, I just went to rickys auto in miami for a quote as I live 5 minutes from the shop. He quoted me 2,200 for a black top and 2,400 for a redtop. and 1600 for all labor to install everything (motor, trans, smic all other ect.) so thats about 4000 out the door done. Does this sound like a good deal and has anyone had any good/bad experiences with this shop.

 

Here in my city it was only $3800 for everything

 

for that much i hope you get a stand alone!!
I bought my motor, trans harnes ecu, ignitor, maf, for 1500 redtop.and 1200 to put it in. but that here in the good old common wealth.

oh yeah i picked up motor from baltimore so no ship, just gas($100)

 

I know Ricky's does cost a little more than some other places but I think they have really clean motors.....

The swap and labor price does seem about normal but paying that $1600+ for an install kinda sucks when you can use that for more parts!!!

 

yeah but I dont know what I am doing =p. He showed me on he just did and it looked like a very clean install. + no check engine lights + he is garunteeing his work

 

I would look around to see if you can find something a lil cheaper, but then that means your gonna have to find another shop to do the install for you......cuz Ricky would probally get pissed if you bring him a motor from someone else and told him to install......

.....or if you got the paper, just go with Ricky's and let him handle everything, this way you know you got a good motor and a good install, guaranteed.

 

yeah im just gonna hand over the cash and let him take care of everything. thanks for the replies

 

Good luck.....POST PIX!!!!
