Ive read that some air to water swappers found that leaving the nose as is allows for enough air flow to the radiator. But then this the Internet after all..... ;) But then Maybe one would paint the exterior after swap work done?

My thinking is that if he really believes he can get over 30k for it, swap done, he should pay the 4500 and make some money.

For those unfamiliar with a swap like this or have never done one, just dealing with the wiring harness itself takes time. Unless you send it out to someone like Tom Shiels. The air to water cooled aspect is somewhat of a "bolt on" affair but one does need to pull the dash, modify the air box (or better yet) install a resealed wbx heat box along with $$ new heater core. And, adding AC? Wow.
