- Sun Jan 23, 2011 11:49 pm #235037 i was looking into this last night imo its more expensive than hard. over here in england ur lookin at the best part of 5-6000 pound to complete the swap with decent parts and a low milege engine.

i say if you want that engine then do the swap. just give ur self time and dont rush as u could end up kickin urself speakin from personal experiance i done a project 2 years ago and tried completing it in 1 month and it ended up in ruins lol so now im redoing it :thumb: its taking me a year and a half and only half way through but the results are so much more satisfying lol

Bud once you begin, it shows it self. Just 1 tip, don't buy that cheap ebay crap for axles and mounts. That money is spoiled. Buy innovative or hasports than you're halfway.
