This is all great info guys! I am seriously considering doing it myself with some help from my brother-in-law (owns his own garage in Mtl). Only issue then wud be the tuning I guess. I found one other guy who is gonna quote me today...but then I gotta get the parts over to him...Honestly, I wish I cuda just found someone else's hard work already done and bot it!

No way! Learning how to do it yourself and being able to look back and know that you made it what it is....totally worth all the time and effort.

Could always find a school that would want to do it lol. I have a friend who getting his windshield replaced for free because he took it to a school of automotive window repair. Could call around some automotive schools nad see if any of them offer stuff like that for a motor swap lol. Just remember to tip lol
