Default Price of an engine swap?

Hey guys, im thinking of changing my standard 4.0l to a HP engine.
Just wondering what the the cost of labour would be for the swap-over and what the turnaround might be?

Cheers

Don't bother, there's bugger all difference.
Spend the money on extractors, cam, etc for what you have and it will perform much better than a HP engine.

But the issue is it has 425,000 on the clock, I'm not an expert on these things so I dont know if it could handle the workload without something else breaking in the engine, but as i said im not an expert so if you have some ideas for me im open.
