used engine costs around 5 to 800. the labor for a swap is around 500 with fluids. unless they are flat out thieves.

theres no way to tell what block you got. unless you saw the engine before they put it in and you saw it had a gen 5 blower on it.

the engine cover is your old one if you had one.

R and R is not 5 hours of labor lol.

Think like 10-12 total, plus the motor and fluids. I bet the avg price is roughly 2500-3000 at most shops depending on miles on motor and cost of the engine.

Shoot, we a 05 alitma with the 3.5 VQ motor for 3,100ish.

But in the end he kinda got shafted on the price by atleast 1500 buck.
