This quote includes all necessary options free tan to flywheel. The following is anestimate of the installation of the above engine. In a much as this 1 of engine manufactures, the only reasonable methodof conversion this is by time and materiel. It is felt that a good figure to shoot for would be around E4500. This would include the purchase of the new clutch and pressure plate. It should be noted that this i an estimate only and not a firm commitment. It is thought that the above figure is probably more than will be rquired and the total will be less. However, there could be some unforseen problems and could require more. Thank you for letting us quote in this matter and we are loking forward to your order.
