Quote for 2jzgte swap and manual conversion
I got quoted roughly $3000 for installation of motor and conversion of auto tranny to manual. Is this a fair price? I live in Ga.

It's hard to judge, because to me prices would hinge on quality of work, knowledge/previous labor of the same car platform, and how long it will take.
I assume it's just labor. And it does seem like a fair if they do good work, and stand behind it...
A top notch quality custom job could be worth alot more in labor. Much less and I would make damn sure they new what they were doing and what is involved.
You just plan to drop off a motor/trans from an importer, and then pick the car back up done? What about maintenance, timingbelt / tensioner / waterpump / acc belt / vvti ocv filter / seals / etc.. Does the $3000 include the needed custom exhaust, intercooler piping, radiator hoses, custom driveshaft, etc??
The motor drops in but it's still a big job... Just make sure both parties are clear what's involved and what included when making a deal.
GL!!! Post up some pics when you get to to that point..

Hey I'm not sure on a quote, I just started looking into doing this myself. I was wondering though, if u swap in a 2jzgte, do u have to change the car to a manual or can it stay an automatic with that motor?

Its a LOT harder to change to manual..Its easier to leave it auto.
And for 3k installing the motor and converting to manual..I would say that is pretty cheap. From what I remember it takes a decent amount of work to get a manual properly into the 98+ GS.
Just make sure they do good work. Maybe check out some of the other cars they have done work on.
Good luck, report back.
