Default cv joints bad

my cv joints in my 88 hatch are getting worse. I know i need to replace them, but i was curious if it would be worth it to upgrade so that when i can eventually afford the engine swap my axles will be able to handle it?? iif so, what kind of vehicle *acura maybe?* should i find?? thanks

if you are swapping, you will be changing your axles with ones that wont work anyway. put 50$ napa axles in it. they have lifetime warranty.

not dumb. why waste money on something you are gonna replace with something completely different. yup the cheapest ones you can get they should have a warranty also.

get the whole axel if your cv joints are bad.. its not worth replacing just the cv joint.. its more expensive
