Mine was $800 CDN and a low mileage example (longblock). So if it's the w=
hole
thing, yep, I'd go for it. There was at another yard that they wanted $15=
00
for, too much  for sure. And no harm dropping the whole thing in, then yo=
u can
play with the 1.8 head if you don't want to go to the expense of a P&P on=
 the
2L. (or was that someone else that was going from a 1.8 to a 2L? Oh well,=

they're likely reading this anyway. And the stock head won't kill you, qu=
ite
nice actually) The single use head bolts and gaskets will cost a bit (aro=
und
$100 IIRC), so plan for as few on/off adventures as you can for the head.=
 You
won't need them if you put the whole thing in of course.
Oh, and you will like the result! =3D80
