How much is a replacement engine and a swap?

I’m guessing a lot

Well, a crate LS3 is about $8,500 new...

Same, but in the long run, I am wondering if it would cheaper than rebuilding the possible screwed engine that is in there now?

Probably is but I’d be running the risk of it exploding again

That’s not a bad idea. It would leave plenty of room for the turbos.

i.e. you thrash it a lot, or?

Previous owners (I’m the third) absolutely flogged it

Three at the minimum

Two small ones feeding into one big one so you have power all the time.

It could have some Bugatti-like scoops that feed directly into the turbos, that feed into the supercharger.

then we massage it and we can probably get 1200-1600hp out of it. Chiron eat your heart out

:(

Not sure what to suggest sir...do you have a big attachment to it? Maybe it’s more cost-effective to move on to a new ride or another Mini in better shape?

This should make 1,500 minimum.

Also add all wheel drive

It’s my first car and I’m trying to fix it before I get my license

I’m thinking an AWD transfer case like you find in some trucks, that give you AWD with 4x4 capability.

Ah, damn...was the engine lunched when you bought it?

Completely lunched. There is another story with just pictures showing how bad it is

No local or semi-local salvage yards with an engine for sale?

None with a 1.6 turbo 4 from a mini. Maybe some with an ls3...
