Realistic labor and fabrication cost for 2JZ GTE FRS swap

Hello,

I have made a post asking for input on my parts list for this swap. Now i'm asking for realistic input on the cost for labor and fabrication.

My budget is 20k. My parts list is currently sitting at 14,050 That covers engine, trans, ECU plug and play kit, and Upgraded Twins for the 2JZ that support 600HP.

Throw in another 2-3k for misc parts inter-cooler, radiator,plumbing for turbos, gages, boost controller,ect.

So say 17k for parts on the mid range of the scale.

What is a realistic number for labor and fabrication on a 2JZ FRS swap. Its the one thing i cant get a solid number on for planning and i'm not jumping in the pool if i don't know how deep that bitch it.

Should i just scrap this idea and go with the Built Fa20 short block from Craford Performance. I priced out that build and its 15k with no Fabing. And i know i can do all the wrench for that build my self with a Haynes manual and youtube. But I really want a 2JZ sitting under my hood!

Please people of the inter-webs give my ass a reality check
