Hi @moophatcow. That's a really cool user name! Actually we've just done exactly that. We've downgraded our bigger car (this one is our little run-around) to an older car which I plan to maintain myself. It shouldn't need engine swap outs, although I have heavily modified previous vehicles I've owned for the fun of it, cam, heads, valves, exhaust, intake, MAF, computer etc. Thanks for the suggestions!
