I currently have about 3000 dollars, I can cough up on an engine swap. Not really trying to get super fast or anything, just my 7a has got about 250,000 miles on it and probably not much more to go. I know next to nothing on engine swaps. so i need advice.

I read some stuff on the 3sge and that sounds to be the best for what i want. But could my budget come anywhere close to that? Does anyone know a good shop that can do this in East Texas? Any advice is welcome.

sorry if this is repeat but i browsed through quite a bit of forums and didn't find them entirely useful.

Thanks
