I purchased this vehicle with the engine and transmission swap already done. I would personally rate it as a 7 out of 10 job on the engine and trans swap vehicle runs and drives. If I had more time there are things I would change. As for the 5 lug Brake and Suspension Swap I did this myself I'm a master certified mechanic and have done many engine swaps, transmission swaps and suspension swaps. The suspension and 5 lug swap are done correctly!
