Personally I like getting a clip just because you know the engine wasn't thrown around and piled under a ton of stuff.

Plus one.
front clips are for piece of mind. You know these were running cars that were cut in half and shipped over vs. motor sets that tend to be pulled out of junkyards. Not saying that motor sets aren't reliable, but as mentioned above, motors inside front clips have lived their entire life inside that clip (enclosed by body panels and hood to protect from weathering). Whereas a motor set gets piled up amongst 759384739 other swaps and parts in a container and shipped overseas. Front clips also give you a better idea of what you're getting since you have the cluster to display miles and you can also catch a glimpse of the bay. These clips always have a story to tell.
