$800 was inclusive, although I suspect it was going to be a secondhand part.
You can save yourself a lot of money by sourcing the part yourself. Dstocks on this board was very helpful to me in this regard. I tested it (and flushed it) with a garden hose. When I have time, I'm going to try these instructions:

If I can't complete it, Lee (my regular mechanic) said he will fit it for $300-$400.

LOL! I thought of that ... Lee sounded like he might have less on at the moment. I'd still expect to lose it for a week though.
