You bet. Proof that an 05 was done would make it a primo choice and likely command extra $. An independent quoted me about $2500-3000 to do that + a clutch at the same time (all parts and labor, bearing, clutch, etc). Less if you don't do the clutch, but seems silly not to since it's right in your face.
Final PPI, though ? I sincerely doubt an owner would say " sure go ahead and split my tranny from the engine, remove my clutch, just so you can see if it's an upgradeable car"... Even if he did, it'd be an expensive PPI for you if you do not end up buying the car.
