Really enjoying my BEAMS. Everything else is stock except for GT4 front end, exhaust, wheels, and a fifth gear from an s51 transmission. This gives me 34mpg at 60mph, and reduces the rpm (at 60mph) by 300rpm. Put about 4000k miles on it and couldn't be happier with the performance. It really comes alive at 3800rpm. The swap is expensive (I had a professional mechanic do the swap) but I'm glad I chose the BEAMS. Manny did the front end body and paint work.

hey pgiorgio you may not know since you had a mechanic do the work, but is the beams engine a direct swap in? like will all the lines, hoses, shifter cables, and wiring harness all match the car or did it need a hybrid wiring harness and a bunch more work to make it work? just curious because I am hoping to do a beams swap of my own
