Hello,

If you have a shop do this task, then the end cost will depend on the shop's labor rate as well as if the replacement engine is complete or will need parts transferred from the old one.
The labor hour is 12-15 hours. So, depending on the shop rate it will vary.
I would suggest calling a few shops to get an idea of their rates.

Let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
