FD3S 302 swap?
 
Hey guys, someone emailed me a while ago saying he had a 302 swapped FD3S but never got back to me after I asked him about the title. Does anyone if this can be done as a cheap alternative to a ls1 swap? I don't see any existing kits so I'm guessing not.

Thanks

nothing is cheap about an FD, so dont bother to try and cut corners

+1000000, lol. Compared to any other older Japanese car I have owned this is definitely not a "budget" or "cheap" route for the FD if you want it to function correctly.

Nicely worded! :icon_tup:

more to the point, the 302 is a very outdated mill. you'd be above and beyond better with an LS based engine (5.3 if your trying to stay on a budget). even then your looking at buying an entire fabricated front xmember and numerous other semi-expensive/expensive swap parts. the FC is a much better "bang for your buck" street car.
