I wanted to know for the best bang and cheapest way would a CA18DET or SR20DET swap better? I don't have a whole lot of money but my car has over 200,000 miles on it but it runs strong and I drive it like a manic. Sooner or later it will go out so I plan on doing research and asking around first before this happens. Would both swap be direct swap? And please respond with other details. Thank you

Okay so I've done some research and find that I might be doing the CA18DET swap. Now if I do either the SR or CA i shouldn't have to worry about motor blowing up or bad engine that I bought right? Is there a website on CA swap? It's not a direct plug and play thing is it? I've never done an engine swap before but I've taken out a toyota corolla motor and thats all the knowledge I have. Anyone is Seattle, Washington that is reputable or reliable on this type of swap. Thank you again.
