I'm getting some money and I want some power!

[Liquidblaze]

Hey guys, I need some help. I am getting $1700 and I want some power for my 98 DX CPE. I need help to make a list of mods for my car. I have a completely bone stock DX. I want HHHHPPPPPP! 106hp isn't cuttin' it. Can someone help me?

shit, thats enough for an LS swap
i paid $1200 for mine... since you need a newer one, 1700 will probably be right on target

Any other sites? Will the LS be an easy swap? What all will I need for the swap? What is good mileage for the engine?

I was thinking about doing an LS swap originally but I was also thinking about pimpin out the dx. I think if I got a CAI, 3" piping, dc header, aem fuel rail & filter, Clutch master kit, cam, etc. Then in a couple of months I will be getting some more money and I will be saving for a turbo and getting a dry shot of nos to spool it when needed.

dont waste your time with that motor.. swap in the ls, and then start saving for an ls turbo kit

locally, www.terryvilleauto.com was my source- they called www.jbap.com and had a motor shipped from them in NY to my local yard in CT and then i had a guy there deleiver it to my door- for 1200
