I've been debating on engine swaps and I have some questions. How reliable would a swapped car be? What swap would be the best for a daily diver?

If youre extremely careful and you do it right the first time you sure can. From what I've seen the 5sfte can be very unforgiving if corners are cut, but other then that its a solid build and its numbers are awesome.
I believe this thread will help you see whats involved. Honestly though, if youre thinking 5sfte, I'd suggest maybe the 5sgte, best of both worlds. |
