oh it's been a loooong 48 hours. I ran a big end bearing on the way to scrutenering. Damo offered the engine out of his 4 door (it's already done 2 Targa's through recce). We rounded up some mates and went to work, had to strip the throttle setup, water pump and timing belt off my engine, and put it on Damo's. By 1:00 the new engine was together, and Damo and I were the last standing. We installed the engine and box, and by 4:30 the engine was running. I got home at 5:00, got 1.5 hours sleep, and then got the car to the dyno for the check up.... lost some power, but the engine is safe.

bad luck done with!

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
