Labor cost on long block install?

[Steve O.]

What have any of you guys paid to have a re-man motor/long block installed in your trucks?

Thanks

Looking to have one installed myself in the next week. My mechanic quoted just under $1000. Book calls for 13 hours, depends on what he charges an hour for the final tab.

Just got a call back from the guy I am going with and he quoted $1300 based on 13 hours of labor and fluids and a few misc. things. Close enough for me since nobody else around here is able to do it in a timely fashion, never mind the long list if shops that won't do it at all.

Good luck with your. I'll report back next week after the Avant engine is in.

Thanks!
