Around what price is it for labor on an Engine Swap? (ZZ4 350 crate). Thanks.

 

Call a local place. Thats how I find out prices.

 

Having never done anything more indepth than a carb swap, I managed a ZZ4 + HOT cam swap almost entirely by myself in my garage. All I needed was to borrow an engine hoist (the could probably be rented) and to buy a couple of tools - harmonic ballancer puller, distributor wrench (for removing motor mounts), a valve spring compressor (I needed to install the HOT cam kit myself.. it's pretty easy, actually ) and a haynes manual. The only assistance I needed was in guiding the engine into place with the hoist.

Regardless of how you do the swap, get an appropriate torque converter built. It's a pain to have to install one later, when it would have been so easy when the engine was out.

You might wanna try it yourself

 

make sure if u do this ur self, that when u do the springs or anything, u get some compressed air in there so u don't drop and valves bad memorys

 

take your time and do it yourself .. not hard at all .. its quality time and you will bond with the car

 

We charge $150-$250 to take the motors out......installation depends on what needs to be done.....
