suparman Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 In 3 weeks I will have 2500 to spend on a motor. I am thinking a L motor would be cheapest to build and put in. fabrication is not an issue for me extra cost for putting other motors in is. the other issue is there are no L series motors in my area I am 300 mile from Denver CO in a small farming town. so I need to find a place to buy a long block motor from or find someone willing to build one for me/ I am not confident enough to correctly assemble one myself. although my race car motor hold together well so I might be able to do it if given a parts list. in the future I would like to do ITBS if that makes a difference. What can I excpect for 2500 if i assemble my self vs someone else doing it for me.If this is in the wrong section sorry. thanks for the help. my perfect motor would be 200 horse with a different sound something other than the lawnmower sound or grumbling v8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoov100 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Why not drop in a vg30e? all you would need are custom mounts, exhaust and a couple other small things, they are torque monsters out of the box, you will be losing about 150 pounds of the front of the car and they will get great mpg's if you keep your foot out of it.

suparman Posted March 27, 2010 Author Share Posted March 27, 2010 I have spent lot of time looking at motors swaps on here and was under the impression that all motor swaps were significantly more expensive. If I were to pick the perfect swap for me it would be the f20c from the s2000 but I cant find one and imagine it being ultra expensive. I also like the way ITBs sound if that helps any Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
