Ok, let me tackle it from the other angle, then...what can be left out while doing enough (mounting the engine and trans, modifying tunnel, etc.) to get the engine and trans mounted and operational? Do the stock twins, stock turbo manifold need to be ditched and swapped out with the single that will eventually go there? Are you saying all bolt-on's need to already be placed by the fabrication shop to mount the engine/trans and therefore modify the trans tunnel?
I appreciate the clarity, but just seeing how 'complete' the install from a shop (like yours) needs to be just to get basic functionality with A/C, heat, radiator hoses routed/added seems to be the only unclear variable when asking the next question, which becomes: what's the labor cost for those elements, or rather, how much time (again, ballpark, not looking for something like 18.75 hours) would that take in labor hours?
Thanks for your response!
