Hey i have a 97 ex i want to swap i was origionally planning to do a LSvtec but people a lot of people said do a B swap or h22 swap my goal is 500hp turbocharged and some what driven reliably 3-4 days of the week and raced on the street and track pretty is B swap a good option for how i plan my build? And to the swap and your comment Does it take much rewiring to b swap would that take a lot of cutting and welding and bashing the trannie wall im okay with that but want to get all the hardest things to swap be known any other things that would be pretty hard other than normal routine of swapping? This is my first swap and i just want to research and do it myself hope to get soem answers thanks
