Subject:Engine swap time
From:Edward Duntz
Date:Wed, 23 Jul 2008 18:36:42 -0400

What would be the average time for a mechanic to charge if someone were to drive in their 1.9 with a spare 1.9 and say, "Take out my engine and put this one in"?
 
Time if all accessoreis are on new engine (water pump, alternator, exhaust, starter, etc)?
 
Time if all accessoreis have to be swapped over?
 
I'm just trying to plan for the eventual demise of my 1.9 which is getting old and tired. I have also decided for financial and other reasons that I would rebuild or replace the 1.9, and not to any other conversions.
 
Thanks,
Ed Duntz in CT
