Okay, now that your panties are in a twist...

Maybe I didn't explain myself fully. I agree with you mostly. I drove a 95 stock GST, and while it was kinda fun around town, it sure wasn't fast. My view on the 4g63 is it's designed for boost. It'll damn sure take more than ours w/o piston/rod changes. 400hp on a 420a w/o building bottom end? Please try it and let me know how it goes. I'm pretty sure a 4g63 will take it though. Maybe it's not as cost effective to go for the 200-300hp range, but let's say you are looking for 300-350. Maybe you've found a 4g63 w/ tranny and axles for a fair price, something like $2000. It might be a cost effective swap, especially when you can turn around and sell your 420a. My initial interest in this subject was due to the fact that noone knows what it takes or what it costs for sure to swap motors. Everyone just starts freaking out and saying how bad an idea it is. You don't need to defend the 420a to me. I drive one everyday. It's a good motor. Just seems that under certain circumstances, a 4g63 swap could be a viable solution. I for one, am definitely going Hahn stage 2 even though an engine swap doesn't seem out of bounds. I have the equipment needed available to me. I'll go Hahn stage 2, and I probably won't go any further due to the implications of building the bottom end. That's way too damn expensive and leaves you w/o wheels for too long. If I want to go fast, I'll get another bike. It's low-10's out of the box. That's just my view.
