I recently purchased a 95 GT convertible, but she has 175k miles on her so I have been thinking about my swap options. I intend to ride her until she stops running and hopefully I get atleast another 25k. I am very interested in the 3SGTE swap, but I hear there will be some need for modification. I am on a $2,000 budget for the swap some added power and turbo would be nice, but if its too much trouble then I proly would just rebuild my engine myself and send out my tranny to be rebuilt.

Yes, I suppose. Maybe if my body and interior we is excellant condition I would consider it, but I wouldnt spend $5k on a swap and not upgrade the suspension, interior, and a much needed paint job...this would bring me in the 10k area which might be worth it after I get outta school this year, but I would like to consider all my options.

After the death of my SRT I am done with the whole street racing/track scene, but I would still like something that pulls and is a little more fun to drive.

I was checking out a thread by manny I think the was able to turbo a GT engine..which might be a more cost effective option for me. Can someone help me figure out the cost of this. I say
Decent Turbo Kit: $1000
Rebuilt Tranny: $500
New Clutch: $250
Rebuilt Engine: $500
Rebuilt Head: $200

Total cost $2,200 ??
