That's a weird one - and I have to assume you are not asking $32K for it and its probably a few grand. So we are going to pull the intake off and go through all that? If its a "smalls" price car he needs to make his best guesses on his risks or move on.
Now on the other side if you allow him to do it give him all the soft lines and new gray return hoses and a heat exchanger to put on while he is in there
