I would try to apply for a lost title and see if you can get the better car on the road. If so then do what it takes to do that, get it going and have fun with a very nice car. Rebuid the N/A and either keep it or sell it. If you sell it, you can use the money to buy some neat stuff for your turbo, maybe even a 3" elbow from that moderator woman.Put the 5 speed in the turbo and have fun. The rebuild on the N/A should be around $700.00 with machining. That will be new pistons and crank ground. Good time to put ARP bolts on the con rods and even ARP studs on the main caps and head.

Kepp us up to date,

Well...here in Calif...I did my own Valve job (sent head to machine shop), got all parts at wholesale (I manage a repair shop), and it still cost $800.
So...doing the bottom end has got to be at least that much.
And that's just a normal rebuild, nothing "race(y)".
