Questions: for Swapping from 13brew 4-port auto to a 20brew
What major changes do I need to make when swapping from a 13brew 4- port auto to a 20brew. Do I need to swap the tranny too?

2. the engine is NOT a direct swap
3. the time to do this is WELL over a couple of weeks
4. you WILL spend a **** load of money on custom parts to make it fit
5. you WILL spend a **** load of money on the ecu and tuning to make this run

It's not like dropping a stolen motor into a honda...

Huge hole is huge
I'd aim at 30k bucks. If you're buying an ebay motor, you don't know the condition it's in. You'll want to open it up and more than likely need to do a rebuild. Then all of the fabrications you'll need to do...yeah, 30k is a good number to think of.
