Default What do you do w/ the engine you swap out?

So if I do a swap for a B whatever, what should I do with the D16Y8?

Just curious.
Kinda doing some research.

While I'm at it, is a turbo on D better or not against a stock B series?

Thanks!

if you had a shop do it, they take it as the core charge for the engine you had put in.

Build the shiet out of the D series into a 300hp beast and then sell the motor for the same price or more you paid for the swapped engine. Then again...it'll be making double the power of your B series so swap out the B series again, sell it, and keep the built D series. But then again...that's just me.
