MY 2002 2.5 liter Subaru upgrade (35k miles) probably cost $3500
Plus my labor to install.

I subaru's are kinda do it yourself.  You find the motor, you pull the
wiring harness, then buy the conversion kit (about $1500).  If you do all
the labor you might have +/- $3000 into it.
I don't remember what the TIICO costs but they aren't $7000.
Are you thinking $8000 is not a good deal :-)

Am I missing something here?  It appears that for December only the price is
$6,800 + $100 core + options + they will install it for another $900?

So, say $7-8000 & you are all set?  How much are the other conversions that
this is supposed to be cheaper than?
