What's wrong with your motor? To swap a regular motor the same as your's shouldn't be that hard. If you got a buddy or two, do it yourself and while the motor is out, throw a set of long tubes on.

+1 If you have a friend with even a little mechanical experience you can do this yourself. It is the same motor everything you take off will go back in the same spot. Just keep all bolts with the part that they came off of. I did this myself with one friend and no experience.
