You'll NEVER get back what you invested. The best thing you can do is get a cheapy paint job that'll look good for 2-3 years and sell her now.

not worth all that work just to sell it
that is no small job, you have to transfer everthing over. wiring, computer, maybe the dash it has different gauge cluster, and then you have the engine, tranny, all the fuel injection crap, power steering pump and AC compressor are probally differnent. smog stuff

too much work just to sell a car, you do a v8 swap for a race car or a extremely straight low mileage car

ok so not really worth it unless i'm doing it for myself....well thats ok maybe i will just keep my car and put money into that one and then just make this car really good....i mean it a nice car but i personaly like the newer ones better....who knows...i guess i'll do the engine swap and keep the car make it really nice and just keep using this car...it would be nice to have the 5.0 i must say....i use the highway to get/come to school....so i mean the v8 nots going to do to bad on gas other than when i go driving around town and ****...but after i t all nice and everything i won't keep having to put a 100 dollar into her to fix the brakes or the rust or anything like that....guess i will keep the car and just keep putting money into it for myself and not sell it....well thanks for the info
