Damn 1900?

No, you don't necessarily need another engine.

Another tranny:probably

Any other motor: not necessarily.


That can be a pretty darn cheap daily driver !

You might just need to switch up a few internal parts. A new engine is not necessary

What did you want to get done? Have any questions just ask - weve been building and working on 04-08 TL's for almost a decade.

Remember building a car without good maintenance wont last long.
