No, you're missing the point. You get what's UNDER the hood.

Besides most clips don't even come with body panels.

clips are more complete and you are more than likely going to have everything you need to complete your swap, if you just buy the engine you may have cut harnesses and may not have everything you need

when u are going to do a engine swap like this, its ideal to have a front clip, because they are 90% of the time complete with evrything u will need to complete the swap.
