    HI guys ,
    i've got s2 ute v6 auto it was a gift so i can't sell it.
    i hate autos and want a bit more grunt so i reacon an engine swap it the way to go ,
    So can anyone tell me how much i'd be looking at to have it all done with 6 speed gbox.
    where around the gold coast i could get it done ,
    if it's gonna be too expensive i'm thinking of either putting a 2JZ GTE in it or just buing another car to use for drifting.thanks

    so i'd be better off dumping in a 2jz as a jza80 front cut is about 4.5g then it'd be a more unique car too.
    anyway thanks

    being V6 auto they are as common as all hell so you'd only get around $2000-$4000 i reckon
