    he is looking for the cheapest way to do a swap in his car. i'm curious too, as i expect our 200k+ stock engine to die any day now and it's not like i can just find another.

    Re: motor swap

    there are many A-series on here with over 300k, if well maintained it should last a long time. if you want to do a swap and A-series aren't readily available, the next easiest option for easy to find stuff would be a B-series swap (not the b20a found in preludes either)

    our compression numbers were 180/155/155/180, so.... (*edit. still within spec, so not TOO worried...yet).


    has anyone successfully BARd a B-series into these cars? i haven't had time to search yet.. plus, i like conversation so thought i'd ask.

    Is that really a 15 or did you forget the 0? If it is 15, WOW.
