how much should the labor be on installing a engine in a 2001 kia optima 4-cyl?

I don't know why everybody else is afraid to put the numbers out there? Labor time calls for 13.8 hours (that includes the transfer of parts to replacement engine) and the average labor rate is $100.00 per hour so that is $1380.00 plus parts,shop supplies and tax!

The average labor rate is at 75 dollars to 85dollars per hour

Depends on hourly labour rate where you live, depending what needs to be changed over to new engine and if auto or straight drive would estimate 10-15hrs to change.

this depends on the laborer i mean the mechanic that will going to fix your car. by the way you can go here, http://www.automd.com/shops it might help you to find a shop.
