I would have whoever is installing the engine change the serpentine belt,spark plugs,clean the throttle body and whatever else is possible to change and clean while the engine is out.
Then you could put the RoW 030 or PSS9 suspension in for another $1.5-2.5k.
As for the tranny,have whoever is putting in the new engine install a new clutch,should be at most $700 parts & labor since the engine is removed. Then install a Short Shift Kit and your tranny is good to go!
Even after all of that,you should still have some money left over.
If only all of us had $20k to spend on out cars.  |
Thank you for the detail thoughts. I am suprised that it would not be necessary to replace the tranny with a 996 unit, is there any advantage in staying with the 5spd setup in terms of performance? Thanks!
