Fair pricing for swap/Cost Effective Swap?

[mondos]

2002 ep3 153k. The car had dramatically lost power over the last year. So doing a swap seems like the way to go. Recently had a 2003 RSX transmission (w/60k Miles with exedy clutch and flywheel) put in due to stock going. I am looking to get into the 200hp range, but won't argue about getting more. As well naturally aspirated only.

I have access to a full machine shop that has everything possible needed and will do most almost anything for free. (they can lathe 40 inch steal, prob not needed ).

In all I am looking to:
A. Do a swap
or B. Just do a head (no vtec killer), however not sure if best idea with 150k on motor.

Shoot me some ideas, or post links.

Thanks.

You can find a full TSX longblock for 1500 if you do some searching.

With I/RH/E you can get to 200whp. 06-08 tsx engines > 04-05

I'm very happy with my K24A1 swap. I picked up the motor for around $580-$600. Had 48K on the motor and 65K on the DC5 base tranny I mated it with. In total i'd say I spent $1200 dollars to get it all in.
