I plan on swapping in an eco once I get back from my training that I have to go do down in may. But I just wanted to know......what the total price it cost you to swap in your eco. Labor, motor price, etc etc....everything. I need to try and get my money set aside for the swap, and want to have it all. Thanks!
Infantry!!!
i bought a entire ecotec car that was wreaked for 1000 took everything i needed and did the swap myself so my total was 1000 dollars
i would do one for people for around 1500-2000
I bought a totalled 04 for $650 and that's what it cost me plus fluids.

I bought the parts individually, all together it cost about 1600
Its going to vary big time...i say if you have a 2k up you should be able to do it for under 1g but if you have a pre 2k then the cost will go up alot....unless you get a good deal n a complete wreck..
i read somewhere that the 03 l-series saturns had a more powerful l61 is that true??

2003-2005 Saturn L-Series (high output) The 2003 Saturn L-Series has a high output version with higher (10:1) compression and more aggressive camshaft. The Malibu and Saturn versions also use return-less fuel injection

Yes in 2002 the l61 in the saturns had 135 crank hp with 9.5:1 cr
The motor your referring to is the one in your cav 10:1 cr.
