What I'm saying is you don't know exactly everything that is included in the price of the swap; until you do, you can't really state your opinion on the price with incomplete info.
I don't know nor do I care what the average prices are because I do my own work. However, I do know you need to have complete information before you make any Assumptions. What I don't know is what is it about Hondas that attract so many morons.
blah blah blah morons blah blah... waah.
timing belt is cheap. plugs are cheap. wires are cheap. p28s go for 100-125. shipping is 250-300. if its shipped as a single, and not in a batch.
don't talk like I dont know what I'm talking about asshole, you're mistaken. I may not own a 10 year old shop, but I do know my way around a b series and the eg chassis, among other combinations.
the point of the post is, regardless, even with a 1000$ variation, for price of motor, parts, night of coke and hookers for the builder, whatever- its still far more than average.
