A professional swap done for 1k huh?

Lets try this, a low end shop usually charges lets say $70 per hour. 

Now take $1000 and divide it by 70. You are left with roughly 14.

This means that a low end shop would have 14 hours to do a swap. 3 of which would be easily consumed by removing and re installing motors not to mention all of the custom work that is required to do it. 

Shops in Cali charge more than 1k for an m50 e30 swap, and thats easy stuff.

a jzmotor with ecu tranny and shaft is only 3500$ the swap professionally done is only 1000$ maybe less,

 

Even if you do get good deals, I'm glad you have thousands to spend on your car.  Some of the rest of us, myself included, don't.  I can barely afford to keep mine running, and frequently do my own work simply to save money.
