    try about 12-15%. my car will weigh between 2350-2400lbs, most swapped cars are around 2750

        he was talking about the extra 50lbs, not the weight of your car to your imaginary swap car weight.

          he may have been referring to the weight of the engine, but I was referring to the total weight difference of my car.. and theres nothing imaginary to my swap, but thanks for chiming in...

          OP have you decided what you are doing yet?

            I meant the imaginary 2750lb car, not your own.

              that makes sense. it was just a rough estimate based on what most people do when they swap 24v motors into their cars.

                    That shouldn't be horrible to fix. looks like a bunch of body work. check how bad the radiator and rest of cooling system is messed up. If its going to take a lot of money to put in the cooling system, like charlie2309 said, swap those parts over.
                    Good luck!
