Engine swap
Uggh, back AGAIN, I talked to Brentwood Volvo about an engine swap from my crappy B5254S engine to a turbo'd engine. What they're telling me is that it would be too much work to swap an ECU and an engine, so I figured I might do it myself, as much a noob as I am. How complicated is it to do this, and is it worth it?
*EDIT* From what I've been reading, it isn't worth it, but considering any volvo on ebay/craiglist within 200 miles of me is either a total pile or wayyy too expensive, I'd rather do this. I bought it for $425, which was a really good deal, so I wouldn't mind putting some extra money into it (plus it's my first car, so it has sentimental value).
