slivertop cuts off at 7200rpm while blacktop is at 7400rpm
ractive_roLLa.... a full engine swap goes for around $3500. that's with an uncut harness, ecu, 6-speed tranny, etc. you can get a cheap one from Tiger Auto for $1000 but you have to locate your own harness which is harder than locating a whole motor.
ADDED INFO: the most significant difference between the 2 when it comes to performance (stock vs. stock) is that the blacktop has a smoother power curve than the silvertop. also, aside from the internals, the ITBs on the blacktop is slightly bigger than the silvertop. you can also run open throttle bodies on the BT kinda like a carb-d set-up.
