what do you suggest/what can i do????

i read some of the suggestions on the site but i want to hear first hand accounts of what others have done.

 

oh yeah, got over 100,000 miles on engine

yank the motor, and put in a 3400 (3.4 pushrod) and supercharge it!

 

that'd give ya the best* bang for the buck.

Definately the 3400 SC'd.. Then dont do up the outside.. Keep it a very plain jane looking car, and race for ownership! ROFL.. jk.. But definately an 00+ 3100, or a 3400 swap SC'd would own.. Im doin a 3100 top end on a 3.1 MPFI block, and Im turboing it :D

so i should swap my engine, but what about my suspension? or a ecm chip? what size tires are best? anyone make cold air intake for this engine?

I'm looking for a laundry list of stuff?

 

also how much does the engine swap cost - in your area- ballpark?

I could do an engine swap for you (if you bring me the engine and the car) for 'round $500 - give or take what extra parts I gotta run to the store to pick up to make it work right.

thanks brotha but i'm way out on the east coast.

damn that would sweet!

well I'm sure there's ton's of shops out there that could do the work for you real easy.

 

also, for the suspension, get the WHOLE FE3 suspension - then start upgrading from there.

 

There's ton's of lil' things people have done on the board here, use the search function to figure out what mods you want that have already been done, and then for mods that haven't been done, bring those up, or if you have a question that you can't find the answer for.
