Hard to say. What does the $700 include? Parts labor or just the motor,
trans? You will need a few new parts and how much is the labor gonna be? $$
per hr or per job? 
Since you got the thing out of the car, you will want to get a new clutch in
it, new seals ect. that stuff adds up. If you buy one already built, its
already included. It just depends on stuff, you know.
Hell, you throw enough money at me, id do the swap for you!
