Hi guys,
I'm posting this for my brother. He has a 95 cobra that he wrecked this past summer (beyond reasonable repair body/frame wise) and he finally has the money to get a swap done. He is planning on getting a 95 v6 auto which he found for a cheap price (i think the motor etc is gone or something, so its a good roller) to put the motor/tranny/rear in. So here is the question:
If he takes both cars to a mechanic and asks the mechanic to completely swap the motor and drivetrain along with any other parts needed, a complete swap motor/drivetrain wise, tuned etc right, how much should he plan on paying? I know it would be cheaper to do it ourselves but we aren't interrested (not too good with the mechanic work yet, and he needs it soon). Thanks a lot for any estimates.
