People who have not done an engine swap, really don't know what it really takes, specially if you want a car that keeps OEM CANBUS stuff.... Swapping is a pain in the ass, it's expensive if you want things nice. I regretted swapping my car. I've written it in numerous posts, but long story short, the car was way funner turbo FA20 then swapped.... But FA20 turbo was rolling the dice every time...
I actually put the car back to stock, low miles clean stock car sold for a great price and made money off the swap parts...
I do not recommend swapping to anyone EXCEPT its a track ONLY car.

With what I've spent I could have easily gotten a C6, if not a C7. Or built a 1000+hp C5. Swapping is hard and financially irresponsible. If you are dedicated to the chassis and never intend to sell it and really want to build something special, then yeah, go for it. If you want a fast car, you're doing it wrong.

This is sound advice.
