I am looking into a SN95 again. I got my eye on one but it is auto. I have a manual tranny. How hard is it? I mean is it something I could do myself? I need input fast guys I am going to try and move on this car soon.

I did the swap in about seven hours!! With a friends help of course! The hardest part for us was the dropping of the auto to the ground. Be sure and have a good hydraulic floor jack to lower the auto down. The pedal assembly went in fairly easy, as I'd heard some horror stories!

If your in the market you could always bye my whole car It's in the classifieds now and it comes with everything I have, including Two sets of 18' wheels and tires!!

yeah i saw the vert. I am going to look at 2 this morning. one is 2k and the other just got dropped to 2200. I am really trying to avoid a vert. Just don't like them, unless of course I can find a cheap cobra

sooo you'd pay 2k for a v6 u gotta swap all ur stuff onto, rather than $1500 for a 5.0 5sp vert? Verts will always be worth more.... Not to mention u could probably sell ur car for $4-500 and have 1k into the vert, plus you could swap all the better parts over before you sold it...
