Swaps are rarely done for cost effectiveness. They're done because someone wants a particular 'thing' and the only way to get it is to make it themselves.

Why does everyone assume a swapped motor needs to be 'built'? A 3.2 J motor right out of the boneyard with a quick reflash and headers would be close to 300 bhp. That's all I want. The tuning and...
