That fast food place must pay pretty well if it only took you a few months to earn the money for a swap.

Just put money away until I had enough saved up. I've started doing it again to get a motor into my other car. It can be expensive, but it's really not worth putting yourself into serious debt for. I had a friend who wanted to take a $7500 personal loan to fix up his neon. I told him for that kind of money, you could buy a much nicer car or put it away and look into a house or property. A cars basically worthless after a few years anyway.

Buy a GSR, drive it a while, pull out in front of a full sized truck, collect insurance on it, buy what's left of the Teg back from the insurance company, use the remaining insurance money to buy an underpowered Civic hatch plus a few mods, and swap away!

I save just about all of my money, so I just used some of my savings for my swap. I installed it myself so it didn't cost anything for the install.
