The price sounds about right, but I don't see how you should need to pull the motor for a hci swap.
What are you having trouble with?
Most folks (including myself) seem to pull the trans with the motor.
Another tool that will make pulling the motor easier, especially if you are working alone, is a 'load leveler'
It will allow you to tilt the motor front to back, which makes things much easier.

well if your pulling your motor, now is a good time to do a new clutch if you need it, or a new torque converter if your an auto guy

i got a new tranny and clutch only 8k miles ago... there both good to go
