Hello,

For this Relay a used engine can cost anywhere from $800.00 to $1,500.00+ depending on the mileage and condition.
As for the labor it will depend on the shop rate. Replacing the engine with another complete engine takes about 10-12 hours or labor.

Hope this can help you decide which way you want to go.

I have attached diagrams below for your reference.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
