Well here is my question. im sort of looking for a swap car and i found a pretty decent one only problem being that it has 87k. is this bad what kind of stuff will i need to look for should i just keep looking?

buy it do all the regular maintenance while the motor is out and replace all the seals, gaskets and any dry rotted hoses maybe even the head gasket wouldnt be a bad idea. Is the motor stock or has it had some mods done to it???

pretty much stock. well thats kinda what im asking how much am i looking to spend to get everything all tuned up and ready to go. cause the donor car is right around 3k.

i paid 3k for mine. I would say keep another 1k around in case u need it for something. I've spent about 500 in parts so far and im sure it will be worth it. My donor car has about 48k on it but i'm trying to repalce everything I can afford to just because I know it will me a hell of alot easier with the motor out and I can keep track of it from there. I knew the previous owner and he did do maintenace on it but I also knew about some of the other things the car needed so that has helped me alot.

what kind of stuff are you replacing?

All the gaskets except the head and the turbo fold gasket. also cam seals, water pump, all the belts, plugs and wires everything i can think of to do. I hope to be going stage 3 in the winter so Ill be replacing alot more later.
