If you really like it that much, my advice would be to find another car just like it when it finally quits on you. Used f-bods are very affordable. You will never get your money out of an engine swap, and the cost of doing it would likely compare to just getting another used V6 f-body... not to mention the hassle of doing it yourself if you go that route.

In general... unless you are going for a big honking full-blown race motor, engine swaps = not worth it.

i didnt pay very much for my car and i hope it has alot more life left to it...i havent really had any problems out of it jus that it needed a new coil pack a few months ago..i suppose it would be best to get a new one but im attached to my car :-(

Unless you abuse the crap out of it, you've got nothing to worry about for while. We got 175k out of the GN, and that's got a lot more power than the stock 99 V6 F-body. I would say just let it ride
