It should be pretty easy to put in and take out... I think most ppl do that when they want to take out the engine and dont have a hoist... I would def a check local junk yards and even eBay... Could have it done for less than $200... Hell theres one on there now (with some rust on it) for $20 + $35 shipping... Cant see just how bad the rust is in the pics tho...
