I have an S2000 that has no engine or tranny in it. It did about 1 month ago, so the hoses / radiator, etc... are there.

If I buy a engine/tranny combo swap. How long would you expect it to take to drop it in and get everything hooked up?

i think there are just two motor mounts. can the swap come in from the top or do you have to undo the subframe and bring it from the bottom?

I was quoted $1k from one place. A more local place says $62.00 an hour and they won't commit to how many hours, but usually they are pretty good guys.

thank you.

 

I can do a full swap (given that all parts are on hand) in less than 8 hours. The best way to do it is to drop the front subframe and drop the whole engine/trans out of the bottom. I've seen it get pulled from the top but it's ugly. $1000 bucks to swap the motor seems like a good deal to me. Dealers will charge way more than that.

 

Scot....give me a call tonight. It's completely possible to do it in your garage. Save yourself some $$$

Sometimes it is slower if someone else did the disassembly.. connections and nuanced fitments can be less obvious.. especially if you have little experience with that particular car.
