you may be bored of it.do something to regain ur interest in it.. when u look back and u built the car from when u were little or young and u have something to show thats urs u will be proud and have a ton of knowledge.

I have a ka24 motor here. That thing is a SLOW DOG . No torque. I like torque and rather have vehicles with TORQUE. Hell 2.2. of fury has more torque than this ka24.

bad bobs setup is doin good with "unquality" parts then....and under $2500 in the whole swap.

and no "conversion kit" was bought or even thought of

isn't he carberated? and the op topic was about a 4g63 swap in a 240. it got off topic i was just stating that its not as simple as buy a motor it drops in and runs..
i was also refering to swaping a mtor and building it.. again i was not talking about bad bob or anyone it was a general statment so dont put workds in my text or imply i ment something.

ive met quite a bit of people on this board and non have seemed to skimp or not know what they are talking about.. but your averag v8 swap in a 240 or any motor swap thats not a factory drop in cost some loot.. and even at that a 2jz comes factory in a is300(not turbo) and doing a vvti gte swap is still not cheep and it drops right in.

Good suggestions. The only thing is, I really want a lighter, smaller platform. The car just feels huge to me, and I never use the trunk or back seat anyways, so a little 2 seater would be the ticket. Somethin else I thought about would be a LS swap in a Solstice. I've seen a couple, and Mallett sells completed ones:

A turbo LS in one of them would accomplish about all the goals I'm lookin for.

Tq and cost?

If you want something light, than look at regular cab trucks. Or hell, a postal jeep

BigdaddyDupree · 11-15-2009, 06:59 PM

i will have less that 2k in my swap when all said and done. it will be a brand new transmission. torque converter, 9 inch rear end and top end of motor. it will have leather seats and full interior. the bottom end of the motor has 60k miles on it. and for what it is it will be fun. once its done we will see how it runs. but for 2 grand its hard to make anything remotely fast
