Shops in our area in Northeast Illinois charge about $785 which includes labor, break-in oil and filter, sealant, ten mile road test, computer scan, dial in and pressure testing. That's about the going rate nationwide with the East and cities being a little higher with the South and rural areas a bit lower

For what it's worth, there are many mechanics incapable of performing skill level three work (like modern engine installations)in good shops. Look for a mechanic with some gray hair and ASE patches. Think of it this way. Maybe the kid at K-Mart can change your watch battery but do you trust him to take your watch apart down to it's smallest component and put it back together perfectly and in a timely fashion?*

A modern powertrain is just like a fine timepiece with hundreds of exactly manufactured parts.

How it should be done.

The old engine comes out…

It is then undressed it down to a long block.

The  valve covers, timing cover, oil pan, intake manifold and brackets should be chemically stripped down to clean, bare metal in a sodium hydroxide jet stripper or oven baked and blasted.

Everything is painted so the freshly remanufactured engine will look good and be corrosion resistant.

Thee best sealant and gaskets should be used so there will be no leaks.

When the old engine is removed and is swinging in the air,

the mechanic should then iinspect under the hood and around the engine for parts that could adversely affect the operation of the engine for the next year. If he finds anything he should write it on the work order and bring it to the customer's attention.

At that time he will quote a price for the part although the customer is not obligated to approve or purchase anything, the mechanic should just want to let you know what's going on under the hood. Most of the time there is no additional labor involved as the part is off already.  After the fresh engine is installed the cooling system must be pressure tested

and the computer computer should be scanned for trouble codes. The cause of the engine failure should ALWAYS be known so it doesn't fail again.
