re: How in the world can a motor for a ac blower unit cost $640?

More than likely the motor is a variable speed motor. The "module" controls the speeds. It is not just a standard off the shelf 3 speed 3/4hp blower motor. His cost on the motor was probably in the $395-425 range from the distributor. Tack on a 2 hour service call ($65-$85/hr) and say 15-20% for overhead and profit and you are probably right at your $640 bill.
