that engine is basically the s50 b32 motor... not so expensive... i mean the car does have essentially all the wiring for it.. all you need is the adapter from THR and your pretty set.. well mainly set with the motor...haha

THR is obnoxiously expensive. its an expensive swap, even after you pay for the engine and wiring . upkeep is expensive, fitting it in the car properly is expensive and if anything goes wrong .. its expensive

everything about that swap/motor is $$$$

now you're talkin!!!:thumbup:

as steve said though, not a cheap swap, and i think there is some work to do in the engine bay with a BFH, but that motor will work, and kick major ass to boot.
