Which part? I've been picking everyone's brain I can that has been doing the swaps. Also the places that are supplying the parts needed for the swap.

If $3500. they have gone up. Thats where I got mine.

I just looked they dont have them listed anymore. They said they had a limited number of them when I was looking. I jumped on it.

The fun part was explaining to my wife what was in the big crate. I went the beg for forgiveness route
It would be nice to just drop it off and say take care of it. Money is tight and I like working on my own stuff so I'm going for it.

$18000??? Gosh damn!! Yea, peace of mind but I can do pretty good work myself, its a poor boys route. I guess if you got the money, go for it, but remember the lube...LOL, j/k. Warrenty is great though but junkyards carry that also.

$2000 with 8000miles, thats not bad, thats what I'm doing. You should make a complete swap, if you do the work yourslef, in less than $8000 easy. Did your engine have the wiring?
