There is no "cheap/easy" swap, so get that idea out of your head right now.


Whats wrong with the motor thats already in the car? You say "it blew it's motor" but what actually happened?

[sm=funnypostabove.gif], agree'd with forty. theres no such thing. if ur lookin for it cheap you might as well just replace the block of your d16 which is what probably just went out.....
