Another option, depending on your other estimate, of course, is to get a newer 200 6 and a C4 and do a swap. I just looked on Craigslist and saw a complete motor/3-speed automatic (C4) for $750!

Relatively simple swap since it's the same engine mounts (you'll need a transmission mount, which is available). Driveline will need to be made at Drivelines NW for a couple hundred, but for about $1000 (plus labor) you're gonna have a totally upgraded car.

Again, this depends on the condition of the donors and labor. But it may be way less than a motor rebuild alone and you'll have the automatic you need. .
