Theres an aviator engine assembly for sale for 2600 with 21,000 miles on it right now. Good deal. They have warranty's too on there stuff. Also have a warehouse here in phx.

wow that a damn good deal. see this might be better than putting a S/C on my car because lets say I buy a used procharger for lets say $3,500, thats already more expensive than the engine w/ warranty, that extra $900 I could use to mod the aviator engine and be somewhat close to the same power lever as the blower (givin I run like 8lbs of boost) plus my motor has a leaking headgasket and has 100k miles on it, my motor isnt going to like forced induction at that point (or at any point). so looks like I might be going 4 valve pretty soon

Oh and I want to get a cowl hood anyways so thats no problem, I can always run with no hood in the meantime, just to give people the intimidator

So to sum things up, I get either:

S/c for my hurt motor for $3,500 + not counting install and fixing head gasket

-or-

21k mile 4v aviator engine for $2600 w/ warranty that'll give me 290 rwhp give or take and then mod it with basic bolt ons and get close to blown 2v numbers.

labor? :)

you also have to swap wiring harnesses and ecu's. That costs a lot as well Alex. Just know what you are getting into fully before taking that leap.

labor? :)

ive got a couple of buds that will help with install, the cost is 1 case of beer per hour lmao

Well from what Ive read most people that have done the swap are dynoing on/around 300 rwhp. Just wonder if it will be worth the hassle or too much to get into, I dont want this thing to be an ongoing thing where I'll need to make many trips to autozone or junkyard because Im missing a certain part. but if its as easy as some people are saying I would want to go for it

[OH3MGSVT]

ahh **** it, seems like it'll be too much of a hassel in the end, im just gonna save up for some stage 2 heads/cams and eventually S/C it

DOHC for the win!
