Throw me in that boat as well, of course until i got beat by a lightly modded civic, a harsh reality check......

Nice car you got there, looks clean

I would say save up as much money as possible before deciding on an engine swap, plus you still have some life left in the V6 so don't take it out just yet....

Good luck with it...

You've got a nice ride there. I'd definately keep it until you can afford a 350. Ive owned, ohh.. 4 maros now, and still wish I never sold my first. Hang on to it, it's a 3rd gen!!

i think you should keep it and drive the 6 , dont put a v8 in the car , how bout a turbo charged 6 , that would be sweep and then u wouldnt have to change a bunch of stuff.

I love the turbo idea but i have no idea how long till one hits the market and i have no idea how to make one...i'll see in about a year which is probly when i'll wanna do something drastic to the motor.
