You got banned for being a disrespectful idiot that was claiming to have swap plans at the same time you had your car for sale in the classifieds

Oh, btw... its BANNED not BANDED

For the motor alone just searched one of our dealers and found this.

You can get it done for way less than 20k it didnt even cost that for the LSX swap i did after all of the motor building and all.

You would need the basics, engine harness, swap kit with drive shaft, mounts, some exhaust work, intercooler piping and intercooler, maybe a radiator, and other little odds and ends but if you got charged 20k for a RB swap i would ask where all of that money was spent.

If you want it done right you spend the money to do it right, since your going to do the swap u might as well build the motor while its out, it will need to be re powdercoated, new/upgraded turbos, new manifolds. Yea if you did it yourself u could save u alot of time and money. I myself Fab/Weld for a living so i will save myself the time and money into taking it into a shop for alot of the fab work, but you will still need to have it tuned and if you want working A/C u will need a custom A/C compressor mount made. Yea if you wanted a halfazz Rb swap then yes go spend 10k, but if your going to spend the money and time to do the swap, do it right the 1st time

Well, the shop says the car should be ready within the Month... It has been a very long process but now I hope it finally pays off... If the car performs as promised I am going to......... Sell it. Lol I have moved on to other things in life, put much money into the project and the car, and now need the funds for other things in life...
Keep posted on the project and results in the near future!

Was this seriously bumped? Worthless swap is worthless.
