Shalane, I would consider doing the swap. I'm sure the labor will be cheap Parts aren't too expensive, and you are familiar with the car. My friend drives his swapped car every day (its his only car) and in the 2 years since we did it, have not had a SINGLE issue with any of the swapped parts. At the time we did the swap, we did it in his yard on jackstands, with nothing even covering the car, somehow I think Sam and his crew can manage to pull off the swap successfully.
