id do it, if you have the cash laying around. you could always resell it later and get some of your investment back idk how much it will be worth after pulling the original motor and putting in a new one

I don't understand why people buy other people's problem...

I wouldn't but that's me.

If u can do all the labor yourself then do it, esp if u have extra money laying around.
