The "order from canada" he's referring to is a 1.6L turbo engine that fits right in with almost no need for modification. That's the part that may or may not happen some time next year, depending on fundage.

It doesn't sound too bad for a turbo engine, but I dunno. If it is, then you're lucky I don't know much about cars. :p Either way, it's a lot of money that we don't have.

It's actually dirt cheap. Which is why project beastiva was so attractive. but the upside is that I'm bound to enjoy the car whether or not money permits a badass engine like that.

There are other alternatives too: the engine from my old escort would fit (not sure how much work it takes), and those can probably be had for about half the cost of the 1.6 turbo.

the 1.8gt motor is nearly a direct fit, IIRC, it should be as easy as the 1.6t if not easier. Also, 400$ for a motor and another 1-200 in shipping is still HELLA cheap for a turbo motor.

And Nanami, I'm only hard on myself because I know for a fact I could have done better. I let my impatience get in the way of something that could have been better. Like I said, next time, i'm getting the right stuff.

how easy do you think the swap would be for something like that?

That's great if we are doing the underpants mod, but that does not help when it's the swap a boosted motor into the Festiva mod.
