muhahaha, i think i can help xxscaxx.

 

Last year i bought an sir2 motor swap http://www.stiksinc.50megs.com/photo.html. The motor swap lasted about 4 hours.

 

Hmotorsonline.com is where i got the engine. Runs perfect.:) It is definitely worth buying. Plus, you get the close ratio tranny, perfect for track, but on the highway you will run about 4500rpm @ 75 mph :-"

 

got any questions just ask..

 

oh, and with an (s motor) - based del sol, i think you are going to have conflictions with your ecu harness. not sure, just posing a possiblity. :crazy:

Shipping was about 2 weeks.
