would you let your local scrap yard do a engine conversion to your car?

was thinking if anything went wrong with my 1.2 8v engine while i still have my car to get my local scrap yard to throw a 1600 engine in and keep it a bit longer.

what would you do?

1.2 8v engines don't generally "go wrong".

Have you seen how scrap yards take engines out? lol, I dont think they have sets of spanners and tools just a big fuck off 9 inch angle grinder.

I'd hate to see how they put engines in to be honest.
