Ya I underestimated the price of motor and trans. But this would be way more reliable than a tt set up that you spend the same amount of cash on, if u get a motor and trans that's not beat up

Tuning software: $500-650
Clutch/FW: ~$800
Exhaust ~$800-1000 (if you DIY)
Other misc bits and pieces: ~$1000 (minumum)
Other upgrades: Depends on the person, I've got new heads, intake manifold, cam. rocker arms, push rods, blah blah blah. I've got well over $4k in just that crap.

I know I've missed lots of small items but if you leave out my upgrades you're talking $12,300 to whatever you want to spend. Yes there are ways to save a few bucks here and there but I why start cutting corners if you're going this far.

Thanks for that. Us old guys get tired repeating ourselves over and over and over and over and over and over --- Again.

As much of a purist I thought I was. I'm gonna have to say I'm not wasting any money on my motor and just putting away for this swap.

Does JE still have any ls swapped zs or G35s in shop? I'd like to check one out some day.
