Depends whereabouts you're gonna drop it and from how high?

60ft drop through the roof could be expensive, yes...

Using a hoist into the engine bay, not very expensive if you do it yourself.

Depends on who is doing it, if you have access to bits (ie. a complete car) for loom, mounts etc., all the small things which will be necessary to do the job.

If that's your car there mate, find a whist gsi, swap over all the bits like bonnet etc, put standard to yours and it'll be easier. Also cheaper to insure I'd imagine.

Would u rather swap an engine over here it could end up having problems?
Or a respray that will freshen the whole look of your car, if u cant find a white gsi?
