    Original owner prolly pulley'd down on a stock engine from the start, eventually chipped or shelled a piston and just replaced it with a NA motor and sold the car. Seen it happen too many times to count.

    Read the thread, bookmark it on your web browser so you can refer back to it easily. Top swapping will be what your after if you want a cheap conversion and some quick power. Basic rule of thumb, research research research.

    We have alot of info here, and alot of knowledge to be shared, don't hesitate to ask, but a simple search will most likely find you answers as well. Welcome, keep us updated as you mod
