yes i was wondering how much labor would be. If i was to get a motor though could it just be from a junk yard? or would it be better to find someone on the forums I saw that they did it in a 00 thats why i asked about my 96

If my SE was in better shape and i didn't find the 95 i was going to do a S2 swap as well.
That'* the price if you have everything you need and can do the work yourself, Bandit. Let'* get serious here.
He can sell his 96 SE for 2500 and I gaurantee he can find an SSEi around the same vintage for less than 2k more.
