My v8 swap (94 V6 >> 02 SOHC V8) cost me around 6 grand and put my car out of commission for several months. There are a ton of parts to buy. (that's what took my swap so long, I kept having to go and get more stuff from the salvage yard, and it ended up costing a lot more than I expected, so...

I think you are mistaken on that point. Most kits like these cut power to the ignition so fuel isn't burned in the cylinder. Instead the engine turns on momentum and pumps the raw fuel/air mixture out the exhaust pipes where it is ignited by the spark plug you welded in the tip.

I started with a 1994 V6 after I found I couldn't afford the payments or insurance on a GT. I modded my six like many people in this forum. I did the CAI, the gears, exhaust, etc. but I still wasn't satisfied. I ended up doing a 2002 4.6L SOHC motor swap last summer. I now roll around in an...
