The cost rebate after an engine swap, which is a more work-intensive process and has some variable costs invoved, is kinda harder to calculate.

So, since it's the tow rig, have you never lurked about engine mods? A supercharger and a cam regrinding can do wonders in a Chevy V8, and in spite of forced induction being more promoted towards performance, in certain cases it actually also benefits the overall fuel-efficiency.
