It all depends of its a K swap. Any swap having to do with the D17 motor shouldn't be that much.

$2000 is a little much.. i know of some shops that will do it for $500 labor and about $1500 total (after they get parts)
he said the complete swap, and auto to stick.... didnt say D17 or K20, so who knows? you can go from auto d17 to manual k20.

first off it will take more than 4 days and it will cost a lot more than $2k to do the swap. i dont think this guy has tackled one before from the sounds of it
