How much labor would cost to put a engine in a f150 truck?

How much would it cost to have a engine and trans.remove and replaced.I have the longblock and reman. trans.?

• I have a 1995 ford f150 with a 5.0L engine and auto transmission. I want to know about how much it is gonna cost to have engine and transmission removed from truck and replaced with a longblock and rebuilt transmission that I have already got. Of course there will be alot of part swapping from old engine to the new one.I have all parts needed I just need an idea about what the labor charge will be.

• Answer:

  This is a hard question to answer. Allot of it depends on where you live, the cost of living affects the cost of labor that you are going to have to pay to a mechanic. Where I live most independent mechanics charge anywhere from $18 to $30 per hour depending on what there specialty is. Is the long block and trans that you already out of the vehicle? Or, Is the mechanic going to have to pull 2 motors? Assuming that the swap motor and trans is already out I would guess 10 hours labor for engine and trans, so your looking at $180 to $300 plus misc. parts, gaskets, connectors, etc...
