why not put that money aside for a swap? You would be that much closer to swapping in a better powerplant to spend your money on.

boost that badboy, do a leak down test first to make sure its healthy. Yeah he could do a swap, but if he does it right a budget turbo d will wax pretty much any stock b-series swap or even bolt on swap. cant argue with 200whp and 175-185 wtq+
