My first guess would be yes. I believe an RX-7 with full exhaust and intake could beat an Si. And on the engine do u have a parts car to get the engine out of? Is your engine getting old? If neither of these apply I would go against an engine swap. But why not just rebuild your own engine if its got some miles on it. While your at it you could put a nice little street port on it and not worry about beating an Si.
