13brew swap can be done for right at 4k. A ka24de can be swapped for around 2500, and a 350 for about 3000. I would just slap another 13b in it thats street ported and boosted

I'm going to assume he means "generation 2". (second generation)

$4k really won't last long when it comes to any car. Don't get me wrong... It's a great start. Will you be making more money while you're building this car?

What are your HP goals and expectations?

4k spent in on the origional engine would be nice! 4k spent on little stuff here and there for a swap just gets you the engine swap, but with little to no goodies. Or tons of time spent fabricating

But once you've got the 20B... You've got the 20B.

Then you just save $4k like eight more times and you've got one hell of a car!
