Seeing as how my engine is at about 170k miles now and i think he valve stems are going bad im looking into getting a new engine. All the quotes on th valve seals were about 1.2k, and id rather just put that towards a new engine.
If i had a place and time to do the swap i would go with a 3s for sure, but i gotta have a car to drive cause my celi is my only car. I was wanting to know the price of labor at a shop doing either a direct 5s to 5s swap, or how much it would be for the 3s. I would eventually turbo the 5s,i just know its a lost cause on the one i have now. thanks for any info  I just got a new job, so i can finally afford nice stuff
