RE: What will/won't these cars tolerate?

She is already broke in for ya, should last way longer then 104k, my brothers old fox before he dropped a 302 stroker in it, was making low 12 second passes with 178k on the motor and it would let the tires loose at 70 on the highway, for 178k on the motor, not a bad car at all IMO.

^^ I have no clue but I would just do it yourself. Its a good learning experience and if you get a friend or two to help you it could be fun

I would try to do it yourself especially if you plan on ever doing them again. I'm sure a reputable shop will charge you a nice chunk of change to do a swap.

^^ That would of sucked BIG TIME. I had on incident when I was at a stop sign and I was making a left. I cut the wheel all the way and punched it (it was the first week I got my car about 2 1/2 years ago). I didnt know what to expect and I didnt cut it back fast enough and ended up on some ladys lawn. And than tore it all up trying to get off of it lol Gotta love it!

The same thing happened to me less than a week after i got my car. I was making a left at a four way stop and i got it sideways around the corner. problem is, up until that point i had only drifted a full size truck, so i wasnt used to the quick steering response and i overcorrected. the back end kicked out the other way and i nearly slid into an oncoming car. i have since saved that kinda stuff for the local church parking lot.
