Hey Tobi,

I am curious... let's say I want an h22a in the 3rd gen - would you be able to do it? The mounts that PRI supplies are off, so it'd need to be remeasured and welded... and yea, I'd need this done in a week max because of my work situation. :D I'll have A/C and P/S removed as well.

Im sure I could do it but the timeframe is pushing it a little. It sounds like there is a lot of fabrication and wiring to do.

Ok... what kinda timeframe were you thinking of? I just mentioned a week because it's hard to deliver food with no car. :D A rental might be a possibility, but I dunno. Yea, the wiring will prolly be a little messy... I wonder if there'd be a way to do it before hand to save some time. Also, how much would I be looking at if you bought all the parts (engine/tranny, mounts, axles, wiring, etc.) and if I bought the parts... plus install. I'd like to try this myself with the help of some friends.. but it's a pretty rare and sounds complicating swap. Thanks man. :)

Thats the problem, its a very complicated swap and is not very well documented. Like I said before it would take a lot of fab and wiring which is going to be expensive.
I Cannot guarantee a promise time because of the complexity of the job. I would have to start out with at least 20 hours of labor and see what I run into from there. The parts I can get from Hmotors online and from an OEM parts dealer (for hoses, gaskets and other misc. items)

sorry to jack a thread but what do you charge for labor?

Yea, it's not well documented at all... I may try and do it myself (doing a quick test-fit for mounts... then I'll get two extra harnesses to do the wiring, measure axles, etc.) then even having all that done it will prolly take a week to do.

I'll also look into getting a beater car maybe (I know my car is a beater too but hey :)) to temp use while it's down. Thanks. :)
