What would most people prefer?, Engine rebuilds or swaps? Options

[soulshadow]

Im just wondering who would rebuild there engine if they found out that grease and oil was covering the engine, as well as many broken parts such as thread holes and torque converters.

Would you rebuild it in the hopes that it still works, even tho your camshaft might be busted or would you just buy a JDM engine with low mileage thats the same model code and swap it out?

I personally chose No. 3 "Swap Out with a high HP engine", but this is the one I would want to do. It really depends on how much money I have at the time for something like this.

High hp engine swap.

I would never rebuild the engine, im in the same pickle you are. my st engine is gone, and the idea of putting another one in there or even rebuilding the current one just doesnt seem worth it. It really depends on how much money you have, and your intentions with the car, if you like power, go with the high HP, if its just a daily driver like me, then go with a low mileage JDM or remanufactored or wahtever engine.

is there any actual difference between the usdm 7afe, and 'jdm' 7afe. To me they appear to be the same, so why bother?

But oh yeah, swap w/ a better jdm motor such as 4age, 4agze, 3sge, 3sgte.
