well i really dont have a goal right now LOL!! Im just taking in different ideas...I would love to swap but i just cant justify getting rid of my current engine since its still running beautifully..I mean if i had money to swim in I would do the swap in an instant....ahhhh i dunnooooo maybe ill just keep my car the way it is and have more money for gas :) <hr></blockquote><p>You need a goal then :) Styling your car out can be one.. Or keeping it in shape for as long as you want!<p>Seriously, building engine is to race them, or at least, make minor upgrade to let you enjoy it more! You should really consider swapping if you'll be going offroad.. especialy if you got lots of those bills and tickets you need to pay off ;) <p>With power come great responsability.. Either as power in real life, or on the road.

<p>In my original post i think i mentioned mods that have nothing to do with internals(which would include pistons, which would have to be changed if it were to be bored to a 2.2)<p>On another note: wow he did all of that work to the k8 and got 127 hp??? That is horrible...I imagagine dropping a grand into the klde and THEN doing those mods would be the way to go....or if youve really got cash to throw around start out with a klze....oh well...anyways thanks guys that what i was looking for.<p>[ January 28, 2003: Message edited by: mx3man83 ]<hr></blockquote><p>I sure hope you weren't thinking i only got 127hp out of my 2.2L...... try doubling that.
