Got quoted 1600 for just the labor to swap a 02' gt engine into my 96gt. that sound about right? seems high. im about to just buy the tools and do it myself

it is a bitch to swap an engine, especially if you are not sure what your doing.

Sounds really really high to me.

The engine swap should be a direct bolt in. Its not really that hard, espcially if you don't have LTs or anything.

I would shop around. Where are you located?

That sounds about right. Maybe a coulpe hundred higher than what I had been quoted at several shops in my area. Im doing it myself now.

Actually Im not doing a swap, just a removal-rebuild-install. But I was quoted around 1400 for the removal and reinstall.

$1600 to do a motor swap is a good deal if he is doing a turn key install. Just dont do a odd ball motor swap install like me it gets expensive

where do you live, ill swap it for $800 as long as you have everything

should be more around 1000-1200 i would think

i got my shortblock swapped with new heads and cams (and a new clutch) for 2 grand. 1600 doesn't seem that far off.

Seems about right. Wiring and what not takes time and at 75-85 an hour for labor here in NY that seems reasonable as long as it's soup to nuts removal and install.

Its alittle high but not too much...avg i see is @ $1200

heres a write up of how to do it yourself.
