For interior, the shop came up with this list:
Rebuild 3.2 block into 3.6L engine with custom pistons and install in car - $1,000.00
Bore and sleeve block to 3.6L iron sleeves - $2,400.00

This doesn't include everything I've already done/have on the way/have yet to install

GPS system
LED HID Projector headlights
Bilstein PSS9s
986S brakes
3rd radiator

The 3.2 that they're working on has also been purchased by me for $2,000

They're also considering buying my 2.5... I can't very well take it home with me


I'm currently running Michelin Pilots on my 18" stock turbo twists. I will get 19's eventually, but my 18's do well.



I plan to complete this project within 2 years
