Replacing blown d16y8.. what swap to make
So I blew the engine in my BABY and I am looking into getting the engine swapped, but I want to be certain I am going to go with the best engine for my buck! So my question is, from your experience should I stick with the d16 or is there a better engine for the equal cost that I should go with?? I was pretty impressed with the P28 ECU chipped and tuned how sweet that thing ran, but its life is over. So stuck trying to decide if I should give something else a try! Thanks for your input!!!

nothing is going to cost as little as it will to just replace a y8 or z6 in that car.
Unless someone gives you a free B series swap and you just pay mounts/linkages and for basic maint items. You can find good shape y8's for 2-300 bucks. There is nothing else to do either besides tune it up, and drop it in. Any other engine you have much more involved
