It's quite pricey though, and also comes with the flex shaft that came in this year's KOP. It's new though...But good luck looking for one.
The Chrysler sliding door motor is NOT the van door motor form the KOP. It is a cool motor with a hall effect sensor and an electro-magnetic clutch built in, but it is not legal to use the motor or the clutch, but I suppose the sensor and flex cable could be used if accounted for in the right way.

Also, the flex shaft from that motor is NOT the flex shaft from the KOP -- like in a way, yes, but it is about twice the diameter and can carry about 3-4 times the torque.
