well i have found a sti motor that only has 25k miles on it and i have a lot of extra parts laying around it's lookng like about 600 dollars for that
and i can order parts at wholesale prices and i have a few oil coolers laying around. so the real expensive thing is going to be new wiring and the
transaxle and the radiatior. |

expect to spend big on a trans. Alternatively, get one of Ttreibler's ring and pinions. $1200 buck and a 5 speed factory trans that will handle the
STi motor. Seems like a no brainer to me. VWs trans, expect to spend 3K upwards without an LSD.

Engine Block
I'm starting a similar project on my 72. Where did you buy the block from? Also why'd you go with an EJ25 vs an EJ20? |

Is your trans still holding up?
And where about in the NW do you live?
Gotta work on the Nut behind the wheel before you start fixing bolts on the Car.
