i think it would be pretty bad ass to have an 3.0 in cceg. if u have the spare cash go for it.

I was talking to a felow CCEG'er DRSVT. And he informed me that he did a 3L swap, and his response to it was. He thought that the hp gain was not that much and he would have rather have bought the SC of Turbo kit. Not that it would be a cool project. But for 3g's I personally not do a 3L swap. 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!!!!!

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:
