Okay, I'll break the ice, what is the total cost for a new engine and installation/swap labor?

Then I'd likely go with a turbo kit of some flavor and a stiffer clutch. Then N group engine mounts, trans bushings, shifter bushings and rear end bushing bits to stiffen it up, it needs it with more power. Easy to go too far here in regards to NVH depending on bushing selection. Then adjustable rear LCAs, coils with camber plates, oil/boost gauging, oil cooler, air/oil separator.

I'm sure there's more. Or rather, put in a boost proven long block and step up the power way up. I'm running a stock block with an HKS supercharger. I would like the lower rpm boost to come on sooner and harder is why I mention a turbo that is more tunable.
