I hope this isn't too vague, but I figured this is the best place to come with liberty questions so bear with me lol
I've got a 1998 Liberty GX, the head gaskets gone in it and it's got high K's so I figured I would be best off just doing a swap. I wanted to know if either the ej20 or 25 would be viable swaps? I would love to put something turbo in it, so I'm open to other suggestions if anyone's seen something else done to the same model that would work out better

Unfortunately it probably isn't economically viable as a good complete ej20 + mounts + complete turbo back exhaust + ecu + wiring loom + a whole mess of sensors etc plus a tune + your transmission may likely throw in the towel with a turbo ej20 +++ . It will quickly become a money pit that you will never get your money back on.. It will cost a minimum of $6000 and that's as long as you get cheap 2nd hand parts and the tune isn't more than a few hundred and you do ALL the work yourself . For that money you could buy a nice, much newer Lib GT with airbags and all the other goodies. We have 2 Suzuki Sierra 4x4s . We took out the 1300 carby engines and put a 1600 efi engine out of a Baleno in one of them and a 1300 DOHC Suzuki Swift GTI efi engine in the other and it was a huge job. Unless you can find some info from others who have done what you want to do I would suggest just buying a turbo Lib or a Rex and save yourself months of stress and lots of spending...

Exactly.
Reinventing the wheel with a complete donor is a labour of love, count on at least 2 weeks full time with access to a hoist.
Its one of those “if you have to ask, you probably can’t” questions.
