Default Engine conversion

How much should i be looking to pay to get my mfi rst lump put in my mk3 xr3 single carb ? My mate has started it but his a lazy fooker and just keeps putting off and im getting fed up and really wanna drive it
Both cars are in my drive with all parts needed. I just need someone to pop over and do the swap! plus i got an engine crane etc all sitting here. Would really like it done this week or at the weekend before i spunk all my money from my bike.

Cheers
