LOL. Not trying to scare anyone but its the reality of the issue. Whether they are great engines or not, some aren't always well taken care of and unless they have the history of the engine and the owner then you will never really know. True, KA's are around that have probably sat for a couple of years but they are pretty cheap and if something breaks, oh well, you can go hit the local auto parts store and begin your shopping. Another thing that I just saw on another post is legality. I'm not sure on the legality of it all but I'm sure that a KA24DE is much easier to pass emissions, inspection...etc. then it is to have a swapped SR. But like its always been. Its a matter of taste and $$$. If you have the cash and like the SR. Then go for it. If you don't want to go through the trouble of swap. KA-T I would think is it. Eh. Just my 2 cents.
