Default 2002 stratus RT engine swap!

Hi, anybody out there have any advice.....I got a 02 RT stratus 5spd manual, and my brother blew up the motor cuz he didnt change the oil!! But i did find a garage locally that will do a engine swap for 1100 bucks!!! I already have another 75K motor to go in.....Is this a fair price??

Welcome to DF
Did they give you an estimate on how much labor and what they charge per hour. Then ck the numbers and that will tell you.

Yes they did....they said it would be 12 hours labor and 85 an hour...I think that sounds pretty fair but that is why i posted this....I mean i already spent 600 on a used engine that only has 75k miles on it so i dunno what to do...thanks for the help guys!
