Respectably...I still disagree on a swap. Its a headeache to install anyone of the two but an entire engine and wiring, and having it done for 800 is dirst cheap but that all depends on whos the mechanic. Yes talking care of either of the two stock engines and not boosting like a madman will come close the the HP of a stock 3s. And i bet will run for longer than one would think. Its just not as cost effective as everyone says it is. so suppose you bought the front clip for 1700 plus to be safe another 1000(how many can really do it themselves?) for install now you will need a stronger tranny given 5s will bolt up but if your moding it (which is probably why you got the swap) that would be a good idea,+ if have an automatic dont even consider a swap unless you do a full tranny swap...more$$ so lets say 700 for the car that comes in manual probably double for a auto-manual with install, now its around 3400 w/o auto/manual with out boost control, T-timmer and good A/f. and a worthless TMIC(less you actually have the hood scoop).
I see it like this..98% of us are USDM and...90% are keeping the stock 7afe/5sfe, i guess it all comes down to preference, theres no right or wrong just opinions. I think alot of the kids on the boards see how everyone beefs up the swap like thats the only thing worth doing to our cars which is utter garbage.

Thats the way I see it
