or rather my wallet isn't...

i can't afford what i want to do so i am gonna have to go with either a 4AGTE or a NA 4AGE 20V...

i will still be around, but, my finances don't allow me to swap now, blew to much on the firrst one and it got stolen... boo

I know from when I was looking around, a 20V conversion over here was just as much, if not more than a V6/3s-GTE. I'm guessing stateside you got a surplus of these engines?

don't know about that, but i can buy a 6mt 20v front clip for 1500 and be able to sell the front bumper/fenders for almost as much to the ricers... maybe my goal is a lil to high, i wanted a Beast MK1.5 at least 500whp... maybe if i aim for a 300whp 1.5 i would be better off...

wang i wouldnt bother with the 20v matey,its not worth the money for 40bhp or so increase.....if it were me id buy a SC lump and stick a turbo on that,mind you it'll prob cost just as much in the long run as a 3s swap.... how many kidneys have you got?
