Instead of the whole PI swap, you'll see decent gains with a PI cam and intake manifold swap. Use the search function. There are a bunch of threads about this.

The pi swap consists of 99+ PI heads, cams and intake to replace your non PI (NPI) stuff. Basically you have to swap the heads, its a little involved, and a considerable project for a newb. but it definitely can be done. You can find complete used PI heads for about 400 bucks, PI intake manifold for 100 and the rest you can find easily.

Here is a link to the complete kit, if you jus want to all out buy it, but its the expensive way to go. http://www.parkwayperformance.com/2vheadswap.asp

thanks everybody, that was a big help, now i know what direction i should be looking. This is by far the best forum ive seen in years and its the people on it that make it that way. Pat yourselfs on the Back!

He's on a budget and thats pretty elaborate for a newby like mark said the PI heads and intake will be perfect for your application for now just remember if you do decide to boost it seeing as your car is a 97 like my 96 it will raise the compression ratio once you swap your heads

Yeah, the 4v swap gets expensive. I looked into that route a while ago. If you want a 4v you're better off selling your car and just buying one.
