Re: Project winter beater

Make sure you get the correct primer for that metalcast paint.

asking $400-$600.

Doing the 4G63 swap there are alot more added costs than just the motor. Ive been talking alot with mark (tkr) and asking questions on the mirage boards. If you do go that route your gonna need a 1G harness and ecu, patch harness thats $200- $400 alone if you can find them cheap.

I picked a 7 bolt 2.4 up for mine.
I'm not planning on doing the 4g63 swap for the simple fact of cost. I am however acquiring some of the parts to do the swap when I can afford to do it. As far as finding an engine; well, I have. I surely will not be paying $400 for it either.

This is simply my opinion but, anything else would be half-assing it. I mean if you have the car this far apart, there's no point in not fixing the rust and cleaning up the engine bay. Idk, maybe it's that I like my stuff clean and done my way. But who knows; I'm a weirdo. Lol

What do you mean primer? I'll be applying it over a silver which will have a self-etching primer beneath it.
