thanks for the links found some useful stuff!! so pricing it out at 1400 roughly for parts… would a second option be to replace the motor ?? ive seen swaps for about 1400 as well but i dont need all the extras… trans, harness, ecu, so maybe i could save some money there… any suggestions on reputible shops with replacement low kms motors, private sales etc?? ---
