Thread: Topswap vs. L32 swap

Theres a lot of things people are not telling you about the extra things youll need for the top swap. they are little, but they add up quickly.

Gaskets-$300
Injector connectors
Oil
Coolant
Vac line
Belts
Coolant elbows
Valve Seals (might as well, they are cheap)
Thermostat
Spark Plugs
S/C oil
rocker bolts
L67 MAP

That^ is assuming you basically have a 100% complete L67 to take parts off of. I would just put the L32 in, or L67, port it, and have more money for mods. you can always get a Gen V later.

I know what is needed for the swap. If you go back to my original post I stated "I know I’ve missed a few small parts that will be needed but I’m not making a shopping list." It's just to compare options, and get people's idea of what they would choose so I don't look back and wish I did something else....
I've gotten good responses so far, I'm starting to think a full motor swap is the way to go, whether it be L32 or L67, that way I've got my current motor to fall back on or sell....and use that money for some other stuff if I want

Sorry, i just assumed since you said it would only cost $300 for all the gaskets and hardware, you should be better informed to help you make your decision.

Yeah I know, I appreciate the help it probably would be slightly more, and I'm sure somebody would have threadjacked asking for a full list of what's needed anyways...I have some of the random stuff lying around, but I was just throwing together an estimate
