I do have a few swaps under my belt mostly JDM B series into EG's. Please excuse the hijack at least it's on the same topic.

The final cost is determined by what the owner wants to do. It adds up fast if you do it right!

Engine: $100- $300 plus shipping
conversion harness: $125
ECU: 0-$100
5 wire o2 (could be broken) - $120
EGR control box: 0-$150
Fluids and oil filter $50
Labor for install (depends who is doing it) 0-$1000
Timing belt, water pump, and timing belt tensioner: $125+
clutch kit: $150+
flywheel machining: $60
tune up stuff (plugs, wires, cap, rotor, and fuel filter) $150
Thats all I can think of right now..

The mechanical swap is straight forward. The wiring is a bit tricky and takes time. For my swap I converted DPFI->MPFI->OBD1->VX. If you have an HF it wont be that bad.

Doesn't sound to bad at all. I had well over $3000 in my 93 B16a sedan swap and I did it myself. You can see it in my garage.

How does $90 sound for an HF Tranny? Somebody just offered me one at that price but I have to drive about 3 hours to pick it up. The tranny does have about 150,000 miles on it but he's assured me that it doesn't crank or anything.

$90 is cheap if its good.
