    5-speed swap

    Would it be easir just to drop the motor and tranny out of the bottom of the car to swap the transmissions if you already are doing a timing belt at the same time?

    If you can, it would help you out quite a bit IMO.

            bored isn't likely for me. you can come by and watch me try to get my M50 turbo running lol. Basically I'm either at work, spending time with the woman or working on my car. I don't have time for anything else. Unless you want to pay me to do the swap for you lol.

                price is negotiable. I try NOT to do work for cash since I'm not ASE certified. But I've had a few non mechanically inclined ppl beg me to do it. I just forewarn them that I don't come with a warranty of any kind. Plus im mad busy trying to get my own car running. It takes time away from my shit. Round about price? We can chat about it if you really want. I won't be free to do it for about another month tho.

                I work on my car from whenever I get home (5:30) till I have to stop. Lately thats been about 8pm cuz it gets dark. I'm usually on my car 10am-6pm no saturdays at the least. Sundays are girl day so no work on cars then generally. Feel free to stop by any time.

                  If you have the tools ie engine lift, take it out!
