Not to mention fluids, head gasket, timing belt since the block head are off.


So roughly 7000.00 just for the parts needed maybe a little more. If you did ALL the work yourself that wouldn't be so bad.

is never enough...

the k24 block for 900+ should be a long block which has timing chain etc. but its sooo easy to go overboard... lol 230/166 wasn't enough for me & once you get up there I can suggest a new clutch & flywheel

you'll want an aftermarket or atleast B-series rad... tuning LOTS of tuning... lol axles too if you go cheap you might be going home early (i did - hasport stg1 broke 1st week, go oem combo or dss 2.9-3) you'll need a LSD unless you like spinning one wheel & understeering thru tight turns (500-900)

hasport ekk2 mounts require eg/dc steering rack, crossmember & LCA's, not to mention sway bar

exhaust too - 3" **** aint cheap

hope you have suspension to handle & brakes to stop

lats but not least a cluster w/a tach

No sure don't. can't say as I have worked on many. Broke in a few before I came to my senses that the local dealership doesn't and won't pay enough for good help. I order parts online they are so shitty here.
