Probably no more than his charge to remove the replacement engine from your old car. If you're paying labor it gets expensive in a hurry no matter which way you go. If you swap the engine/tranny together it isn't difficult, just tedious. You've got to unbolt the flex disk, motor mounts, shift linkage, wiring, vacuum hoses, exhaust, etc and then slowly lift it out. Do you have an enclosed garage? _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
