Default weld-in kit or hasport kit?

I can get a b16 installed in my ef9 for 2500 with a weld-in kit ( remove my mounts move them to another location), or I can buy the motor/lsd/hasport mount, linkage, a/c bracket, harness, and have my installer do the work and spend 3118, which one would give me more room to turbo and hopefully keep a/c and position the motor better to help on axle breakage at the track?

you get one really good chance at welding and once youve done that... you cant easily convert to a d series again....

bolt in kits..... BTW your swap prices are HIGH

Welding in the motor isnt a good choice. Spend the extra $618 and get the mount kit and do it right.

I know it's high, but anyone else around here charges anywhere from 700-1100 for a swap, leaving me with very little to choose from.

Just buy a mount kit and do the swap yourself.
