I would like to know sana if what would be the things na papalitan if ever gawin ko ito, like the transmission,etc.... and where I can find a shop that does the conversion and installation. How much din sana aabutin and if its a very good decision.

I read before sa mga posts on someone who done the same to a Kia Pride, sa Rmode yata yon. Sana you can help me! Thanks!!!
I have seen an engine swapped Kia Pride and it is fast but it doesn't handle very well, probably due to improper suspension setup (or lack of options for such) or too much weight in front with its new heavier engine.

An engine swap would cost you around P30,000 - P50,000. Not really worth your money unless you want a "sleeper" for drag racing purposes only.

It might be better to sell the Kia and get a bigger car to setup, like Corolla with a 4AGE 16/20v engine or Sentra with a SR20DE or SR18VE/SR20VE engine.
