how much should it cost to do an engine swap? i need to swap my 91 GXL motor into my GTU. Just needing an idea on price. would it be better to just re-build the GTU?

GTU is an 88 or 89? 89 should bolt right in.

Call some different shops. It should be something like 14 1/2 for an install, so that will give you an idea.

Seeing as brandon's being lazy. The GTU is a 90, the GXL is a 91. And I'm pretty sure he's just talking about stuff that needs to be replaced during the swap ( like gaskets and stuff ). It'll pretty much just be the cost of Oil, Anti-Freeze, and any hoses he breaks during the swap, right?

Just do it at home with some friends!!!!! It is not hard at all!!! A few beers and two friends will do the trick. Learn how to work on your cars so you won't get ripped off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 At the beginning I thought it would be tough, I do my own rebuilding now. Our mechanic does the porting and all the nice stuff

Guys, I AM his friend, and we ARE doing it ourselves. He's asking what should we/ will we need to get so we can do the swap? Anything other than Anti-freeze, Oil, and anything we break?

Probably not a bad idea to do new oil filter and spark plugs.

you should talk to adam "mazdaspeed7" ...i think he swapped motors from his wrecked FC to his present GTU...

Don't buy **** unless it has an oil leak. Just antifreeze, oil, and oil filter should be all you need.
