Now thisis all IMO but i talked to DRSVT for like 45 mins about the swap and if it was worth it because everyone glorifies it. IMO I would but a SC or Turbo kit and with what ever money you have left over get some strippers & hookers!!!!!
actually if u get it tuned right u can get 240 hp at the wheels, like that david guy on here.[/b]
actually he did extensive mods to that engine such as custom cams, porting heads, etc. and that cost him a ton of $$$ IMO its not worth it.[/b]
For 240HP to the wheels? That is freaking Mustang GT power right there. The actual engine swap is not expensive but tuning and some extra mods will cost some money. It will still be cheaper than the $4500+ Chris Hightower wants for the turbo and more reliable than the Vortec SC. :rolleyes:
