your insurance company will LOVE you. A new 2.5L crate motor I think will run around 3500 with all the crap on it.
My guess is, the Insurance Company isn't going to know what motor is going in. They will figure the price of the 2.5L and install. They will cut the check to either the Insured, or the shop doing the work. From there, the Insured and the shop can discuss what goes into his car.
Ive been rearended, where the lady's Insurance Company cut me a check for ~$1400.00 for repairs.. I bought a new rear SVT bumper for ~$300 less than new through my discount, had a body shop paint it, and I installed it for free. I made ~$400 from that deal. Same situation, only with a motor.
