[kakswell]

i know there is probably allready threads allready, how hard is it to put one in? basicly wat are the average costs stuff like that

Hozy did this conversion on his car. There's a few ways you can go about it, but you're basically looking at abou $100-$200 on top of purchase price of the engine, if you do all the work yourself.

And it's medium/hard on the difficulty scale if you've never done an engine change before.

The money you'll spend on changing the engine, you might as well spend on fuel. Personally i don't think its worth it for that reason alone, but if you just feel like getting your skills up in the area or as just a hobby type of thing then by all means it would be a nice conversion.

yeah thats mainly what it would be a hobby
