You could build something after market that going to drive very close to stock or not just like stock through a sponsor that is to the right of the screen. I had Texas Speed and Performance built me a motor. I would highly recomend them. Overall it would be cheaper. Well my motor was cheaper than that.

Trying looking for something in the classified section.

I would get a wrecked car, or a pullout with transmission and wiring harness, MUCH cheaper than buying new.

You're going to need a lot more then just the engine for a swap into a 95 bird.. You're best bet is to find a wrecked LS! car and swap out everything. It's not exactly a bolt in swap man....

Yea best bet would be to find a wrecked donor car. That way you'll have all the parts you need to do the swap and you can still part out the rest of the car to get some of your $$ back.
