For those of you who have already done the swap, I was just wondering how much you guys spent for the swap (motor, transmission and labor)? I have a 98 C1500 with a 305 and 5sp transmission.
I am considering doing the swap. I checked with a local shop and they are saying that it will be between 15-20 hours labor (@$125)/ hr plus the motor, transmission and other parts. I was considering purchasing a pullout from a junkyard, but they suggested buying a new one if I am going to spend the money doing the swap. Their thinking, and mine, is that I know that the motor and transmission weren't abused if I buy new.
