Default Engine Swap

what would be a estimation of how much money a speed shop would charge to have them take out my old engine and put in a new one ?

$1500.00 min at a speed shop. $800.00 at a regular shop, no motor or tuning costs.

Nomo your right , but Im not educated in engines enough to do that. I dont know anyone else around here who could either. so I will have to fork over the money to have them do it.
