    might be cheaper/better to get it rebuilt if your puttin a supercharger on, then you would beable to get it upgraded depending on your money plus know what sort of boost it can handle and so forth, the tapping could just be tappets they always tap they just get louder after time, and besides the noise i dont think it will do anythin to the car, easy fix either way its only in the top of the engine, getting another engine will still cost you a few hundred then you could have similar problems or worse even.

    If your gonna do an engine swap you may as well chuck an L67 in it. You can find them on eBay for around $2500 and they've all been tested and cleaned and come with all bolt ons.
