Engine Swap costs!

I was wondering what are the costs for an engine swap, labour wise! swap will be done on a 93 Civic CX stock!
would it be more expensive if it's a vtec or is it even posible to put a vtec on? please let me know if there is anything else that i shold consider before a swap!

and by the way anyone has any idia on how much i would be able to sell a 93cx stoch engine with 170k on it! works perfectly fine!

Well i called altech and for a B16A1 it was going to cost around the 3000 mark however that price included all the necessary extras and the install charges... I guess it'll depend on what's being put in as with anything

I think it would be slightly less to drop it in a 93 then a 90 .... can use more stock parts.... then again best way to find prices is to check out shops that do the work ... Altech and RT are some examples.....
