it all depends on what kind of tools/equipment you have, it does get epensive if you have to rent htings such as an engine hoist for extended periods of time. also i think this is a pretty advanced project, because it can get complicated if things go astray. but hey, if you want to tackle it i say go for it:sweetass and good luck, i'd do it myself, but im going KA-T if i ever get that sort of $$$

i've never done a swap before thuough... i wouldnt think it would be that hard ( i know this sounds ignorant since ive never done one) but is has the same mounts and all... but i really wanna do it myself so i can have the confidence and pride of doing it my self and not have someone do it for me...

trust me, it may sound easy, but its going to get messy, because something always goes wrong, and, if you dont have all the knowledge to fix it, you may end up having to go to a shop and having them fix it anyways, word tot he wise, make sure you dont get yourself in over your head

Damn fodive, you really like that smiley!

Yeah, it's not that easy, but at the same time it's not that hard. At least if you have a shop do it, and something goes wrong, they have to buy you a new one though.

i loooove that smiley, i wish we had that thing on zilvia....so many smileys, ive got to put at least one in pre post, its an addictio now:help
