Ok, As of right now I am driving a 96 SE. And I was planning to 20ve soon. I recently got an extra 6000 *** of the ny win 4 lotto. Anywho, now that i got the extra money to blow this is what i was planning to drop a 20ve into my car with 02-03 spec v tranny.

Now following the 2 forums given on this forum. The ga16 to sr20 swap and the 6 speed swap. Would it be worth it?
I really love this car *** the interior is CLEAN (swapped interior to black g20) and the exterior has 1 minor ding on the passenger rear quarter, So i dont wanna give up the car *** of how clean it is. Shall i go foward with this project? like is there gonna be any major complication or problem if i go foward with it?

Forget the 6 speed swap. Just get a SR20 manual and be done with it.

Since you have the cash, might as well do as eric said, maybe spend a little more and go for a B15/P11 trans that will be more than sufficient.

if you wanna ball hard, go for the 6spd, but you'll need to convert to a hydro clutch setup and cable shifter setup, its not going to be cheap.

ga16 to sr20 isn't bad at all. i did it when it was my first swap. yeah i had a couple of problem but once i was done with it, it was stupid mistakes.

oh kay kool, so just get the sr20de 5spd tranny and hook that up to the 20ve and ditch the whole 6spd idea?

The major issue with the 6 speed, is finding the P12 bellhousing.

Yes. Be sure to get a G20T driver side axle if your P10 was not previously LSD equipped.
