Description
An engine swap bay where a mechanic fits an I4, V8 or EV block into a car, changing its sound, power and weight, with the engine blocks consumed as real inventory items. It is the depth play that sits above a basic upgrade menu — a server that offers engine swaps signals a serious tuning scene, and that is what justifies the price.

Known Failure Modes & Corrective Prompt
- Client-side item removal — the block is consumed locally, so the player keeps it. Remove + charge in the server event.
- Audio swap ignored —
ForceVehicleEngineAudiois called with the engine running and silently no-ops. Toggle the engine off then on. - Unvalidated swap:done — the server fires it without checking the item, so a crafted client self-grants any block.
Corrective re-prompt: Move the item check, labour charge and item removal into the swap:request server handler, only emit swap:done after all three succeed, and on the client wrap the profile apply in SetVehicleEngineOn(veh,false,...) / SetVehicleEngineOn(veh,true,...) so the audio profile actually changes.
Framework Integration
QBCore: Player.Functions.GetItemByName('engine_v8') to verify the block and Player.Functions.RemoveItem to consume it inside the server handler; persist the fitted block on player_vehicles.
QBox: use exports.ox_inventory:Search / :RemoveItem and exports.qbx_core:GetPlayer(src); store the swap via oxmysql.
ESX: ports via xPlayer.getInventoryItem / xPlayer.removeInventoryItem if extended to ESX, same server-side gate.
Profit Potential
$250–$3500/mo on Tebex (expected ~$900). [INFERRED] Priced in the upper $50-389 band; a rising depth niche (corpus median seller $11.85K/mo, signal-scraper tebex_snapshot n=100) supports solid mid-volume units.
Trend Signal
↗ rising — strategy: engine swaps are the depth play above the 3.75-rising tuning baseline in the niche matrix.
Sales Angle
Sell the depth a basic upgrade menu can't touch — a real powerplant swap with consumable blocks and changed engine note. Recommended Tebex price $169.
