i want to put a new engine in for one. The type of engine idk. I want some thing that will allow for extras if i choose. What would be a good choice of engine? After the engine i was thinking intakes headers, tubos and more depending on what i would need to switch out. So all said wht would be the best way to go about it. My budget would be around 5 grand with install...
If by "5 grand with install" you mean the price needs to be
under five thousand dollars including: your new engine, whatever "extras" is, an eventual turbo kit,
and the cost of labor for someone else to do all of the work... then you might as well kiss any dream of swapping it goodbye.
Paying a shop to install a motor
and install a turbo is going to kill you. That's over half your budget right there. You might as well stick with the little D you've got in the thing now.
Anyways, before you ask for any more of our opinions, why don't you take a gander at the thread below, which will answer 99% of your questions.
