There's a difference between buying a used swap, or just engine, and buying a factory engine, which probably comes with new OEM seals/waterpump/clutch/axles and tune up stuff and who knows what else, all at a labor rate which probably exceeds $75/hour.

exactly ------- right, i learned that the hard way i got in the car to start my freshly droped in motor. let it run for alittle. threw it in first. clutch decided not to grab that dirty little son of a bitch. pulling a tranny after you just spent 3 days droping a motor in and getting everything put back together = hell.
