I'm fine with that. The only thing I'm afraid of is extensive wiring.

Wiring is the biggest issue with the swap & not just anyone can do it

Yes its the white one from PR, I did not ask him about cost because it would not relate towhat it would cost here, he did all the mechanical work & an auto electrician did all the electrical work, as for hassles there are some like with any swap, I have all the details & will inform everyone soon
