A good engine swap is one that was done correctly no matter what. I've seen some horrible swaps ex. an rx-7 with an L98 (third gen 350). The integrity of the vehicle was sacrificed immensley. It was faster, but the balance was way off, and the handling suffered due to it. So bottom line: If you plan on swapping, make sure you know what you want and what it will require, or the end result could be a dissappointment.

Seen a sight where a guy tried the LS1 Miata, abandoned the project engine just wouldn't fit. It was easier with a 5.0 Ford. He did however turn around and stuff the LS1 in a BMW 325 which isn't much bigger than a Miata is it? That was a pretty cool swap.
