Im just wondering how much have you all paid to have a motor removed out of the car, then rebuilt and have it put it back to the car. (rebuilt or mazda reman)

How much is the labor it self anyways? (w/o price of motor, just the removing the motor and the installation)

 

$1000 bucks labor

 

do a search for a thread i posted..."rebuild how much" i think it was called. prices are there.

 

Swap the motors out yourself. Not that hard, you have an appreciation for your hard work and you save yourself a BUTT LOAD.

 

i bought an atkins extreme street port with oil mods for $2900 with my motor as a core and did the work myself. i had never done a motor swap before, but i am pretty mechanically inclined. it was a hell of a lot easier than i could have thought. a typical street ported motor with 3mm seals and oil mods will run you anywhere from $3500-6000 depending on the place. if you just want a stock one, malloy mazda sells brand new mazda remanufactured ones for i think less than $3k

 

Stock Mazda Reman: $2240
Labor for KDR to rip apart the new motor and rebuild it with better than factory seals, and R&R the motors: ~$3000
Driving my 7 again: Priceless

 

Doing it yourself: priceless
