Well, its not just a swap. It is a 93 teg that is in okay shape... i was just wondering if it would be a good deal to buy the car for the engine then part it out to make some of the money back? Has a new rad and battery also?

Worth it or no?

I'd have to say go for it, as long as a compression test on the motor comes back okay. :wink: 8)

Wow haha i wasnt expecting all these "yes".. the ad says there are 250xxx km on the motor and like 340xxx on the car lol ..

I wish i had a compression tester.. i know you can get them pretty cheap.. and handy to have... hmm

I guess i will have to think about it. I was hoping to get coilovers for my car but.. a b-series motor. . tempting lol

well to be honest with u i bought a 94 teg i believe for 500 bucks with an ls to start me off its actually a cheap way of doing things i junked the shell and took the motor i actually sold the exhuast interior and rims and made my 500 back almost so its a win win for u if u can make some back

I don't think i am going to do it! I would rather invest the 700 into other things i want for my car haha.. i really would like a set of coilovers!

Plus i would rather save up for a b18c :thumb: Sometime down the road! After i pay school off and all that jazz!

Thanks for your input though guys..! Its what i come here for :lol:

I got my swap for $400. LS motor with a GSR tranny. No car included. Worked out great for me. LS is a nice motor.
