My car went into CG Motorsports today to swap in an S50B32 engine, 6 speed and 3:64 diff. I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve. I can not wait!!

Care to share the cost? Should be worth it regardless. Also, how are you tackling emisiions on a 99?

Awesome!!

I am curious the detailed parts list and total cost once all said and done. We could use a few more how-to write-ups on this. :)

There are no emission tests here in Victoria. I have not tallied the final cost yet. I paid $8500 for the engine and 6 speed. The little parts like oil cooler lines, rad expansion tank and lines run the cost up but I am sure it is all going to be worth it. Alex at ABL has been amazing in helping me find some of the small parts required.

I'm glad you went with Alex. He's a great guy.

post pictures of the process

Wow, nice! Yours will be done before mine :lol:

Can you do me a favor and find out what they do with the line next to the fuel filter(I beleive it's a vacuum/return line) that is no longer used? I can get a photo if that helps.

I will send you some pics when I get it back. It looks like I might have to wait until Monday. They had to order some coolant pipes.
