If you shop around you could find an s50 for ~1k. It's already OBD I so you don't have to worry about converting. I don't think a shop would charge ~8-9k for an engine swap...that seems very highLeave a comment:

I like 4K myself. This is the reason I got an E30/ Love the look and want a little more power. Did anyone ever do a inventory/Cost thread?
I plan pon driving until first of the year and playing with it.Leave a comment:

LOL...at this point in time USD = Austrailian dollar = Canadian dollar...roughly. Sad, as when i went to Australia a few years ago you could get almost 2 Aussie dollars for one USD. I bet the Aussies are loving the power of their dollar. I'd love to go back but not that these exchange rates.Leave a comment:

It cost me circa $4k for the engine trans, all new OBD1 sensors, bottom end bearings, E34 swap parts, a 3:46 LSD, E36 M3 rack, new Euro MAF.
All my own labor.
I could have saved a bit by using used OBD1 sensors and leaving the bottom end alone, but it is a track engine and I did not want the potential BS of faulty old sensors.
As a Noob and not really knowing the ins and outs of the swap, you are totally at the mercy of the installer.

10k might do it... depending on how quick and dirty you want it.
if you want the engine rebuilt, clean install, custom exhaust, etc... expect closer to 20k...Leave a comment:
