I have a 95 rs which is an awesome first car but as the need for speed grows inside me i've come across a 93 gs for $1000 but I can get it for lower than that anyways if i were to get it i'd want to go really big so what would be the best engine to swap in. what other parts would i need to complete the swap. where can i find engines in canada. and if there is any other info i should know that would be greatly appreciated

save your money just for an engine alone, why would you spend money on second car, then to do a swap?

If you current MX is mechanically sound than I'd follow Moses rationale as to why go that route. For less money than getting a GS and then ZE'ing it, you can BPT your current ride and have some money left over. I'm sure the BPT will quench your need for speed thirst.

I can understand the rational.. Keep the RS stock for decent mileage and as a daily driver.. get the GS and build the piss out of it for a bit more of the Weekend Warrior kind of thing ;) Jbeef is right in that it would cost less to swap a BPT or if you could find one.. a B6T into your current car.. both would give you significant power increases.. or you could just put in a BP and turbo it later. What its going to come down to for you is personal preference.. and whether or not you can do without your car for a weekend or two while you transplant engines. Cheers
