Use search, its been discussed. Its cheaper to buy a 16vlv engine.

Given the going rate . . . it would be cheaper to buy a whole 2.3-16 these days.

Why are you so quick to dash others dreams? Don’t you believe in short cuts? I’m sure there is a much easier way to achieve a 16v without actually buying one. You guys are supposed to be here to help. And that searching thing, it takes way to long, by the time I get done reading all that stuff I could have been driving my modified 8v around town.

nope. no real easier way to optain a 16v without buyin one. and i know who everyone hates the search engine but everyone also hates answering the same question 20 times when all can be solved with a single click. if anyone is in the area of NJ looking for a 16v there are 2 for sale in andover. a smoke silver one with 200,000 (owner says runs good with no rush or mechanical problems) for $4,500, and the same owner is selling a mettalic black one with around 112,000 for $8,500. Both 5-Speed. oh and both still have working SLS installed. if anyone is interested pm me and i can give you the guys #
