Default t2000 engine swap

my turbo 2000 is going into the bodyshop for a month for a full repaint so whilst its in there i want to source an engine. the current one has ust ticked over 162k miles so is in need of a change. obviously i can just do a straight swap for a turbo 2000 engine but is there any other model engine that will literally be a straight swap, no messing around with anything

Rebuild: it's no-brainer so long as it's done by someone you can trust.

if you get a replacement, it could all end in tears.
