It's been a while since I've shopped around for one. I have a friend locally who's looking to do a GA auto to SR 5speed swap in a 200sx. I have a rough idea of what all is needed but I'm trying to find the best/cheapest place to get a DET from. Hook a brother up. lol

1k is really cheap. With turbo?

I typically go with Miko, b/c he's the man.

Yeah $1k is pretty cheap. I can't argue that Dre is the man. I know he worked magic on fixing my old 200. If it were for me I'd definitely ask him, I know he sources quality stuff only. Although in this case I think the owner of the car just wants to find something inexpensive to swap in for a quick sale.

I have to talk to the guy Saturday so I'll feel him out for what his plans/ideas are. I just figured I'd get some info for him prior to seeing him.

DOUCHE BAG:rofl: ;) Man, a DET tuned up a bit probably puts out more power than my 5.slow currently. We'll see how well the mustang does on the go-go juice:cool:

Hahaha. If lil bow wow can it do so can you. :) I'll start off the swap fund with a $10 donation. Could you imagine opening the hood at a Ford meet.

I'd rather open the hood to expose a built LS1, but hey whatever turns your wheels buddy:rofl:

I know how quality the man's work is. I towed my car all the way from Vero to Miami for him to fix my stupidity. Although he did say he'd never seen a valve spring do that before:rofl:

I'm located in north FL and I have an avenir w10 sr20det for sale. I bought it from JGY for $1900, it has GReddy rocker arm stopper installed. Engine is still on the pallet from when it was delivered. If you are interested make me an offer.

Scratch the SR idea. He figured he'd just throw a GA back in and sell it as-is.

call up alljapanese engines in miami they have good engines, that's where miko gets some of them but go look at them so you can pick it out yourself.
