You should get an internet connection and do some research. Oh wait, you already have an internet connection!

Save for the biggest motor you can afford and do some researching while you're at it on this forum and the hybrid forum.

why? what are your expectations? goals?

it's better to find something you like (by researching) and then asking if it's a good idea. what are the pros and cons? what's similarly priced but maybe a little better?

that's a bit relative. what is "pricey" to you? unless your current motor is blown, you're not really making a swap/build worthwhile for less than $1.5~2k. yes you can buy a swap for less I'm sure, but you'll want to freshen up the motor (new belts, seals, tune-up parts ect.) maybe throw some power-adders at it. then you'll have other odds and ends to make it work- mounts, axles, shifter.

anyway, a pricey swap to me is anything over $5k to get it in and running and drivable. i'm sure that's chump change for others, but that just supports my point.

so like the other guys said, research.

Also are you looking to do a legal swap or just whatever will make the most power?
