Thats not a terrible price (seems to be the going rate on the east coast) considering all that is necessary and the coolant, fluids and oils and whatnots that add up behind the scene.

the best deal would be do it yourself, buy a set of BIC bracket, yank out ur harness and send it to dr.tweak that it everything else is candy

Uhm. I just did a guys supra for 1220.00, that included taking the motor apart doing new valve stem seals, cleaning every motor part with a tooth brush, doing the wiring harness lol. I live in Michigan.

I might start doing harnesses for people 300.00.
 

Vrank!!!

How far are you from kaizen or driftmotion? They're both on this board and have excellent reps. The cheapest way would be to do it yourself, but if you're not confident enough for that yourself, research and find a reputable person. These things aren't cheap to build or maintain. It's easy to spend more on the accessories needed to do the swap (intercooler, piping, exhaust, fuel system, fluids, the list keeps going) than the motorset itself. Buying shitty parts and paying for shitty work only gives you headaches, do it right the first time otherwise you'll be paying for it twice.
