Topic #63694 8 posts Started by Add45
Ok so i need to know how i would go about doing this and everything i should know before doing this

i have a mechanic friend who says he knows how to swap engines and transmissions so thats a load off there.

people tell me i should research first so give me some research.
Anything is possible with lots of cash. Do you have lots of cash ready for this?
If your just a poor student like some of us. Hold your dreams until you can afford it or you will suffer from the lack of money.
A project car / swap requires a steady job and flowing income.

Don't swap if you don't have the money. Its a Toyota not a Honda.

i have a grand and still saving, but the 4agze isnt too high...

I thought 2grand was enuff for my 20V, but soon stuff kept breaking and it turn out to be over 5grand.

If I just swapped in another 7afe I would have only lost 1 grand and still have a nice stock running car.
