dude why???????? do you realize the cost you're getting into? you'll spend minimum $10000 for the engine, transmission, mods, and labor. maybe you have the money to spend i sure don't! in any case, it's still what i consider a waste of money and time. besides, you will find more mods for the 7M. the 7M engine is an awesome power plant. the only problem is the head gasket. since the report of problematic head gaskets, the engine has been stereotyped as not very good. do your research. you will not find any legitimate site stating problems with the engine other than the gasket. after installing a MHG the stock internals can handle at least 500hp. i ought to know, my only internals are AEM gears, HKS MHG, and ARP studs. she runs great, and never ever has an over heating problem. i blow away tuner mods "left & right", and thats almost 20 years old. others that are more heavily modified might be a challenge but if i modify my bottom end, i guarantee there won't be too many i can't beat. i entered my car in nopi nationals 2 weeks ago, and while i didn't place, my ride received a lot of attention. why? because they're becoming rare especially in good condition. i drove home 300 miles at 90-100mph. again no problems. i'm sick and tired of mk4 owners telling me to do a swap. i guarantee my car will hold it's own against mk4s once my bottom end is complete. heck my car runs great now with only 550cc injectors. it's funny, one always hears how mk4s need 1000 or more injectors to make 800hp, and i can do 500hp with 550s. check-out my mods on tunerfriends.com same username. also, checkout suprasport.com, suprastore.com, and mvpmotorsports.com. these are just 3 out several sites with mods for mk3s. i hope i've saved you some cash unless again you're determined, and money is no object. my build cost me $30,000. the car cost me $5000, and labor about $8000 because of my physical challenge, i'm unable to do the work.
