That'd be pretty baller and unique. I doubt it'd be too hard either. Marks engine looked tiny once it was all stripped down.

The kit is cheap too. The rough part is all the extra stuff. ANY swap will usually run you 3-4 grand without the engine...

Depends on what you do, mostly all of their kits are like 1,090.00
Before tax so like 1,200$ then an engine and random things you should fix while the engine is out.
Me i dont care what happens at this moment lol engine goes in eventually i think i may bring it to the mazda dealer and make them take the nut off. im pretty pissed off that theyd make such a stupid thing, but its all a money grabber, collin said like 47$ for the socket i need, then id also need to find a 3/4" or 1" breaker bar so lookin at about 100$ to take a flywheel nut off 15 mins of usage.

Why dont you head to your nearest small town heavy duty shop and use their 3/4 or 1" impact with the proper socket for a case of beer. Fuck I could have that off for you in 2 shakes...............of my dick

i would suggest if you are going to do a v8 swap go with the cheapest easiest swap available for your car. do the ford 5.0 theres little to no customizing and if you get a carbed motor you dont have to worry about pesky wiring. they say on the site that all totalled you can do that swap for 1500 not including the motor.

no offence but it kinda lame this is the only thing holding you back. take in some bottles and buy a socket . if you cant afford one socket in a 2 weeks span you should probably consider a huge life change or a bus pass :)

sorry if this sounds mean or arrogant im really just trying to say get on it ;)

I'm not sure if you mean the socket or the car itself, could be either. As mentioned man, take it to a heavy duty shop, or whatever it takes, one nut shouldnt be such a huge hold up on a project, get er done!
