My idea was to save you on the labor and get you a low mileage engine/tranny, since the labor will only involve removing and putting the engine back .. you don’t have to remove plenum, valve covers, heads to get the gasket ! it’s just a swap ! is the labor going to be $3000 also ? I don’t think so ! In addition who said the clip will be an N/A !? it’s a low mileage TT engine with a manual tranny .. think about it and calculate your cost ! I don’t know .. I have not talked to the guy in long time .. it could be $2000 ! I forgot + maybe $1500 labor for the swap! How long is it going to take!? 10hours ! let’s say 15 hours x 65=975, 20 hours ? x 65=1300 !! I’m just trying to help ya get the best bang for your $$
