700$ For a b18a swap?

By Skyu_Ivy
- Fri Aug 17, 2007 2:55 am #20176 Well, its not just a swap. It is a 93 teg that is in okay shape... i was just wondering if it would be a good deal to buy the car for the engine then part it out to make some of the money back? Has a new rad and battery also?

Worth it or no?

I wish i had a compression tester.. i know you can get them pretty cheap.. and handy to have... hmm

I guess i will have to think about it. I was hoping to get coilovers for my car but.. a b-series motor. . tempting lol

- Sat Aug 18, 2007 4:33 am #20304 I don't think i am going to do it! I would rather invest the 700 into other things i want for my car haha.. i really would like a set of coilovers!

Plus i would rather save up for a b18c :thumb: Sometime down the road! After i pay school off and all that jazz!

Thanks for your input though guys..! Its what i come here for :lol:
