I absolutely never said the total cost of a V8 swap was $5400. Here is my exact quote below
My exact words above. You assumed I was inferring that a turn key build would be $5400. That's your fault for making assumptions. Just the cost for the 3.8L stroked motor from 505 performance is $5400. Nowhere in this entire thread did anyway, except you, think a V8 swap could be done for that number of $5400.
I stand by the fact that a V8 swap doesn't have to be $20k+. In fact, it can be closer to $10k by sourcing used parts and doing the labor yourself.
I will belittle your mechanical drama queen posts all day long when you make silly suggestions about my facts being BS, making the use of a tape measure being used to get ONE simple measurement for a driveshaft and calling a catback exhaust, that any.....any muffler shop can do seem so custom that it's going to cost a mortgage.
And by the way, calling you an expert with numbers was simply me being a smarty pants by using rhetorical, patronizing wording. I honestly do not consider you a numbers expert, but just another guy who is overly thin skinned and sensitive to facts.
