If money isnt really a problem, its not bad. Should all mount up the same but then you need a new pcm and exhaust. Then you need a transmission too. Yo can probably buy the L67 and tranny for under 2K on ebay with really low mileage.

From what I hear they are a really good company, but the labor charges are CRAZY.

IMO, its too much money. With labor its ~$4300; I don't know how many miles you have, but KBB says your car should be worth about $7k; so you're talking about a single mod that is 2/3 the value of the car. I just think thats a pretty bad hp/$ mod.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge L67 fan. Its a great swap, with incredible value if you can source the parts yourself and you can do the labor yourself. Its normal now to pull off the entire swap for $1500-2000, whereas that used to be the parts cost alone. But if you have someone else do the sourcing of parts and all the labor, its really steep.

Personally, if you're looking to go the MMS route- I'd consider just buying a car that already has an L67 in it.
