First get rid of the seat covers. Then save up money for a swap or turbo kit for your single cam.

I would save up for a B-series motor. Good luck.

well oviously a motor swap, I dont really like the seat covers that much either, they just look wierd. How bout finding some del sol seats or some teg seats for in there? Too much red wires in the engine bay and that iceman intake looks nasty.

In closing get some different seats or at least lose the seat covers, and get a swap! Also when doing your swap I would go ahead and clean that engine bay it looks dirty.

Save...save...save...you'll thank yourself in the end. Why spend $1,300 on junk that will only get you running around 16 flat (or 17 flat depending on what you buy)when you could save a while longer and get a nice engine. For $1,300 Im sure you could find an LS motor or something. That will get you in low to mid 15's. Buy the engine now and save for the install later.

Probably not man...I dont envision people charging less for engines that are going to be in higher demand. Now if there are tons of engines just sitting around then they get cheap. Which is why LS motors are so cheap. They're a dime a dozen.
