took it to JC & they said the engine threw a rod so should i rebuild the existing engine or just go 2.2 if i go 2.2 is it hard to do the swap (extra wires or 02 sencors etc.) i can do the swap with some help i like getting my hands dirty if 2.2 would be the direction any body have 1 for sale or where can i get one

 

Why isn't an AP1 motor a choice? I would personally stick with the AP1 motor, or rebuild. Throwing a rod can be pretty devastating, so take a look at the numbers and go from there. A rebuild might be more expensive than a new block depending on the damage.

And for price comparison, I got my short block replaced by Honda with a brand new crate motor for $6100. Yeah, it sucks, but I needed it done sooner rather than later. So, that's what you're looking at if you take it in. I would assume MUCH cheaper if you're going to do the swap yourself and buy a used motor.

 

i love my ap1 motor i just wanted to know since my engine is shot would it be a better thing to go ap2. i dont have 61 hun leighing around and i would be doing the swap y self (ap1 or ap2) i might just stick with a used ap1 motor. thanks!

 

Swap an LS1 motor in.

 

no i will just swap a new skyline drive train, think thats a beta way

 

depending on how you do the 2.2, you may loose the 9k rev. if your block is still good, why don't you do a rebuild with strong internals.

 

the rod broke a chunk off the starter so i dont think the block is any good, i also been reading that its best to keep f22 eng. & trans together due to diff. tranny gearing.

 

get a JDM f20C =)
