there are no "cheap" swaps.
do it once, do it right, or you'll just be another one of the guys, selling theyre junk swapped cars.
if you cant afford to spend 3-4K+ AT LEAST, you aint ready to swap, period.
read some of the stickys, search the forums, if you search by member, (lagos, defgeph, supersprynt , are just a few of the guys that would turn up some VERY usefull posts for you to read over.

bang for the buck, in a 6th gen chassis, you cant beat a 3sgte swap.
ST costs a bit more up front, cause of sourceing a tranny and axles, ect, but IMO its the best swap for 99.9% of the guys here on the site.
the V6 thing is gaining a bit of ground, and more info is slowly becoming more and more popular, both here, and the mr2 boards.
