Boring Thread Removed - - Maybe I was sleepy when I thought is was interesting. Thank you all for the well-deserved heckling. Cheers.

One is $250 the other $330. The $250 one has some damage to a cam. Theses prices are the 50% off sale prices that end soon. Odds are you could offer this same amount if they are off sale when you click on them. This is a popular engine for the SQ swap. I saw there was another one there for $420 from a manual trans Lexus. They all look to be 50% off right now.

Okay the question is i have an 87 quest roller and want to build a budget so to speak race car. I'm wanting to do it all myself. i would like to be the closest to 50/50 front to rear weight (cutting the firewall is a consideration). with a 5 or 6 speed. i don't want to worry about heat. i was strongly considering a 5.3l iron block (lm7) for the cheapness and available and was thinking about matching it to a t56 (6speed). but i recently got a deal i couldn't pass up on a build 350 .060 over with hypereutectic pistons and 11:1 comp. and i think that wouldn't make a good road race/drift for the heat reasons and for the difficulty of getting a 350 to fit.. but I've already got it so it's a consideration. I also was reading around about a 2.1l destroked evo engine and don't have much info on them besides it's gotta be easier to get a 4cyl in place of a 4cyl and they can rev like CRAZY and i would like to have a good track car. What are my options with a destroked 4g6(4?) transmission wise? is this a cost effective swap? what's the weight compared to iron or even alum. block V8's? Is a 350 .060 over going to have uncontrollable heat issues? is it not a cost effective swap? would the weight be an issue (even with setting it back and even moving it down) Or is a lm7 the best bet for affordable, reliable and trackable horsepower? Any input is WELCOME Thanks guys, Jabu P.S. I will get some pics up of the quest later, if anyone is interested.
