I've come to the conclusion that even though I love my car alot, no matter what option/route I choose, it's just obviously not cost effective to do a build/swap even on a 4-7k budget. The engine alone and sourcing parts, and/or complete package will come out to be even with each other.

After coming to a hard realization that it's not cost effective to do that, I forced myself to let go and look into a new car.

It's going to be tough to loose my Monte as I've had it for 6 years.
