they might be cheaper and have more power, but you also need to look at how hard the conversion is and if you need to upgrade any parts as well.
ie: brakes

talk to an engineer befor you make any purches of the engine/ frontcut

Can you get a front cut with a manual gearbox? Not sure if it will work. I'm thinking that if it is as easy as the Supra swap, someone would have said something about it by now. ;)
Where the f#@k did that come from
