Labor cost on engine replacement?

In looking at my options, does any one have any experience with the labor cost on an engine swap in the 79 300 TD?

I have one quote @ $1,000, which I thought was high, but....

Hi

About a grand is what I was quoted. Turned out to be a bit less, but that's because I know the owner well, and I let him take his time with it. I would suggest you take a picture of the engine before they work on it.. just in case... especially the vacuum lines.

Thanks, probably good advice. I'm still debating what to do with this car. I've been offered 500 bucks for it. It may be time to cut and run, I just hate to admit defeat.
