If you can find a good donor car than I would say go with a swap it isnt that hard and the power you can make from the v8 is a huge benefit.
As I've said, I'd prefer to do a swap. However, I need time, transportation during that time, space, money, and tools. And transportation for a donor car or engine and tranny. I can get most of these, but getting all of them is going to be a hassle until probably this summer.

Does anybody know what the stock N/A computer can handle in mods? I haven't gotten an answer to that yet.
