You will pay for a front cut garanteed, $1500 +.
Reason i say is that most import wrecking outlet dickheads wont seperate a front cut for its parts. There was a frontcut on ebay for $1800, the person had 5 other ep82 front cuts. I enquired about just the engine only, he wanted $1500, just for the engine. Later as i mentioned, i didnt need an engine afterall as i fixed my engine.
I emailed the same person for a full quote for an auotmatic conversion package, he replied by asking to call. Like how hard is it to write a quote via an email reply. Just be prepared that you will be forking out a bucket load for a auto conversion. Unless you find a local person that wrote off the car and get backyard prices instead of dealer prices.
