eh simplemind thats exactly what i want done … i jus need to find a place here in mississauga or areas in toronto that have low km KA24DE’s and swap it … maybe even rebuild it (like pistons n camshafts, etc) … so u figure it will go for about $500 for everything stock (the engine + the swap + the misc. parts & fluids) … ?
