That one thats in there now.

If you wanted more displacment then bore it out. Thats expensive.

Why would you want to do all that work to a non turbo FWD 3kgt?

It would be retardedly difficult and expensive... it would defenatly be at a risk to the car... if you screw up (and your likely to) the car is trash

Theyve been bolting tube frame front ends on muscle cars for years.. It can be and has been done.

Like the other thread...I'll ask; How deep are your pockets?

it depends i can do some of the engine work but i would muchhhhhh rather pay some one else but if u sayin the swap all in all would cost around 6 G's or 7 G's max i can do it but if it is more then that i would jsut rather buy a new car lol
