    Well shit...

    After a long conversation with a buddy of mine I think I'm going to swap a turbo 5.3 into my Plymouth instead of the original plan on a 4g63. Ok now you guys can show me the way and give me guidance! I wanna do a cheap build at first just because I have to make the car safe. Thanks in advance

    Oh yes, that is sure to be super unique. Kudos for being completely original.

    getting an old car like that restored clean is hard enough even with a proven motor swap. there will still be a lot of time and money and customization required.

    So... you'll need suspension, brakes, fuel system, engine/trans, turbo, intercooler, exhaust, custom driveshaft etc... gonna throw $10k+ at it right there, might as well keep going...

    yeah that is one of the cheaper swaps but 10k plus is not a bad guess for a turbo swapped car. Post your budget notes and we will show you. You should still do it though.
