Default Decided

I've decided that I would rather do an engine swap to get more power then to get a DASC. Anyways some questions I wanted to ask was what engines can I get.

since your car is OBDII, it would be much easier to get an engine from another OBDII vehicle.

you wanna go nuts? You can put a Camaro engine in there. Here's what you can do....

2.1, 2.3, 2.5, 2.8,3.0,3.2

Im not sure if one is easier than other (can someone confirm this) but they all fit. But being that your car is a 98' its gonna be costly. Cuz (well if your state has smog) youll need exactly a 98 or 99 engine to pass smog legally. Newer engine would be more expensive i guess.

It doesn't need park distance control, and hates decadence. It is musclepacked, yet lightly wound. It lets you feel the asphalt and get you going with the smallest touch of the pedal. It provokes, seduces, and demands to be driven hard. It looks, sounds, and smells like performance.

I'm looking at the M50B25 cause it's plug and play with the 95 Club Sport....although I might stroke the M50 with Zionsville's 2.8L kit(500$) since it might be nice to have some new internals on a 94/95 engine.

Sounds like a pretty good deal. I thought stroker kits were way more expensive.
