umm. my dad cant fix it. where did that come from. any swap that i do weither its a 3sgte or another 5sfe would be done by my mechanic, (a profetional my dad has gone to since befer I was born) he would do all the work, and even get the engen (he has connection for getting all the parts) i dont have the skill or tools to do the swap myself, but i bet that I could do more then my dad, i would just be barrowing his money to pay for it (i exspect the cost to be about 3-6g's) but insurence covering 4g's is getting to be a reallity. smile.gif i have done resurtch on swaps. and my parents seem to think that if i'm going to spend the money for a new engen i shoudl get the one i want, even if its more. so that down the line i dont go back and do it again for it. another note: i'm not to concerend about the milage anthing from 50-150 is ok, i plan on building it up anyway and will replace stock parts for performance over time.

givin my situation i think that my celica wins. getting anything out of my insurence is not likly, and i would hate to dich my car, when everything else on it is fine. sept the cluch i ground out. (maybe ok, half to look at it) nothing would make me happyer then to have 200hp under that hood, and to say that i did an engen swap for it, rather then getting a car that i like less just for the power. and my dad would rather i fix it (big factor) i guess its just up to weither i can convice my dad the 3sgte is better (for some reason other then the hp, he dose not want to hear that i want a fast car) and to save the money.

keep posting your comments guys there fun to read.

i wonder who the 2 people are that thin i should never drive agian.

mass transit is where its at wink.gif

id say find yourself a nice different car, a 2.5RS would be choice.

Oh, I read your post wrong. In that case, I would buy an early 90's 5.0 mustang then. But thats just me.

5.0's are nothin but truble i hear. unless you overhall the whole motor.
(I dont want to be a VANILLA ICE look alike)

I think it was a really bad idea to list posible cars, people keep talkin about it, it was just and idea.

NASA/SCCA RX-7....currently under the knife
92 Civic hatch B16 - Sold
10th anniv RX-7 - RIP
The Slow Celica - Sold...and then crushed crushed due to street racing.
