What is the difference between a front clip and a motorset?
A front clip, also referred to as a half cut, is the front half of the car. Although more expensive than just a motorset, the front clip will include everything you need to complete your swap with the added benefit of seeing how the motor and its accessories are connected. Conversely, you will have to pull the motor from the front clip before you can install it into your car. On the other hand, a motorset is just the motor and transmission. Depending on where you order from, the motorset may or may not have the ignitor chip, a wiring harness or an intercooler. First time swappers should opt for a front clip if possible.
