i dont really know anything about engine swaps, but if you bought a crate engine.. would you have to change out a lot of other stuff too? drive train all that other stuff? i have no idea how it works

I see all the specs. But how do I compare them to what is currently on the s281? Also, how much more $ would the rest of the motor cost, or could u just take off all the parts from your stock motor?

now im not too knowlegeable with engines, but if you were to get that would you be able to run more boost if you got it s/c and raise your rwhp safety level to say 500 rather than 420....
