Very well said with great explanation, those are comments i like to hear
, very informative as well! You are 100% correct, the 3s swap is a much more better build than building the 7a due to the fact of price and power potential. i hate to switch ideas because then its just one big old loop and nothing ever gets done, but maybe building the 5sfe might be a better build for me to do.

Just as you mentioned the labor (especially if you dont do it all your self) is going to take forever (but a 3s would be faster to swap) and the 7a will be very expensive, tedious, special ordered, ect.
A base 3s can push what your looking for. As far as you said you need to rebuild it? Just replace normal wear and tear items (timing belt, oil pump, ect.) And you wouldnt import it your self, there are plenty of third party companies that bring them in all the time.
After the mounts/shift linkage/trans/clutch/motor/harness conv./maintenance parts/ect I personally have spent like 5k (maybe a little more) But will be well over 300whp with only room for improvement. As with your plan I imagine would be the top of the line items already in, and ridiculously expensive to go bigger and better.
But again if your set on boost for the 7a, go for it. Prove us all wrong and keep us up to date
