thats like asking whether its cheaper to take home a nice girl from the bar, or just buy a prostitute to begin with... what would you, theoretically, be looking for?
people spend as much on swaps as they spent on their truck.
ive heard of people spending as much on a set of heads for a motor as i spent on my whole swap (and i think im in the higher end).
not trying to break your balls... but different people value things differently. i would argue that a junkyard v8, done right would be way way way less expensive than a properly done swap; in terms of equivalent strength/reliability.
but then again, ... i dont know. i hate motors. i got a 2.7 so i wouldnt have to worry about it. gears i get... and i got them.
Here's the very first line in my very first post. I guess you missed it the first time.
