And the debate rolls on...so my question is this now...if weight isnt an issue, meaning you find a way to counterweight the car to make it as even as possible, the only other con to the motor is the part availabilty? What about the difficulty of the swap itself...I've read(not actually experienced)that with a mount kit and custom driveshaft, its a bolt in swap. Of course you will need the wiring redone(which I've also read is said to be as easy if not easier than a s13 ito s14). Though I would probaly have someone else tackle it such as Taylor because he's already mastered it. Now when I say being a bolt in swap, I'm comparing it to the s13 redtop to S14 chassis swap which everyone else knows needs a few "extras" to run properly. DP, hoses, custom a/c fabrication lines, electric fans, possibly raditor(though I've heard that the KA one is fine, but if running under constant heavy load cant take heat very well), aftermarket fuel pump..which is more or less needed for a SR swap. So weight issues aside, handling(which I would think that if you need to upgrade your suspension anyways, that would take care of some of your weight issues, but alot of your handeling issues) are the only cons?
