I've been debating on engine swaps and I have some questions. How reliable would a swapped car be? What swap would be the best for a daily diver?

Trust me, parts for the BEAMS aren't bad. Granted, you can't walk into Autozone and get a timing belt, but any time anyone claims "you can't get parts here, parts are impossible to find" they're basing that off of a post someone else made, which was based on another post, then another post, etc. with no actual research. The downfall of the BEAMS is the cost, which is more than a V6 swap, and the fact that you're stuck with only 200 hp. The plus side is its just as reliable as a 5S, very fun to drive, and is as drop-in as a swap comes.
There are smarter choices to swap, but the BEAMS is an easy swap with decent power. -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates. Even Socrates told us to use the search button!
