I think with a lot of careful planning and a ton of homework you can make it happen. Ive heard of guys getting running 5.3s for 2-300 bucks. That leaves you 3700ish to get all the necessary things to adapt the swap. No you wont be tearing up the asphalt but you will have a good running daily driver with tons of potential
