Civic EG Motor Swap Question
 

Hi guys. I have a 92 civic dx with a b18b engine in it that was hit in the front right fender. Due to the extent of the damage I actually found it would be cheaper to purchase a new shell and drop my motor in from the old eg rather than fix the damage that was done to the frame and front fender. My b18b engine is in perfect condition and luckily wasn't damaged in the accident while the shell has the stock engine with a broken water pump still in it. My question is what price would a good mechanic in this area charge to remove the engine from my shell, remove the b18b from my eg, and swap the b18b into my new shell. I've been quoted $850+tax as a base. Is this a good price?

most places charge about $500 to do a swap, so your price seems reasonable, considering he has to remove both engines and then install the b18.
