what do you want to do with the car?
If your going to stay n/a then swap to a 4v. you will make more power than a PI motor with bolt ons, cams, etc. But if you want to run boost, rebuild it and throw 8-10 pounnds at it. You will be faster than a N/A 4v. Unless you want to do a 4v swap and get blown, but thats good chunk of money.

I don't see why it wouldn't.


I love my 4v, car had a PI swap setup with every bolt-on before, with the 4v it's so much nicer to drive and has a lot more usable power, reving to 7200 is fun too.

I'd go 4v for sure. I dont really know what the swp entails, but I know a 4v would be way better than just a PI swap.
