one thing to keep in mind...
doing a swap doesnt always work out for the best. You have to worry about problems that can arise if the swap doesnt go as planned, extra money to spend on parts that didnt come with the engine you bought, etc

there is just alot of extra time, money, and care that goes into a swap. if you go with the 5th gen lude (just for example :naughty: ) you'll KNOW you have a kick ass engine. there will be less stuff to go wrong, and you will love it just as you would the swap car (maybe even more!).

it all depends on who you are.. the guy that wants to spend alot of money/time/effort just to get the car RUNNING, go ahead.

or you can buy a car that is fast/handles good/etc right outta the box, then spend time/money/effort to make the car FASTER.. and not have to worry as much about the keepup, etc

starting to ramble.. hope this made sence. .02$
