labor costs for engine swap?



Yah, I was wondering cause my local shop told me around a grand for it, with
an engine....as they have a couple of those laying around.  Since it's down
the road a month or two or three, I didn't really ask any other
questions....like if that $1k is out the door, engine, rebuild, and
install.....

Don't really want to tackle that one.  Just wanna watch and lend a
hand.....If I did it, the engine would surely not run!

I was guessing that that number was a bit high, but I'm sure I could get
them to come down on it a bit.
