What was the final price on the kit with everything supplied (including the modified items that have to be sourced)? And how long will it take to supply? Also will it mount up to the s6 box and in it's current position?

Weird, they're still not working for me. I am at work however, so maybe the pictures are being blocked by the firewall or something. Sorry for the confusion. I'll have to check the thread at home

I saw those pictures, but I was expecting to see NEW!! picture. I still haven't see any pictures of the modified LIM. Also wondering if anyone has installed this kit yet and what they think of it.

I though I remembered asking this question, but I don't see the response or remember what you said, so here goes again (sorry):

If the tranny and the steering rack stay in the factory location, how does the motor clear? Does it sit higher than stock, or at an angle, or is it just a reworked oil pan that allows it to fit? I assume that it sits higher, because you mention UIM/hood clearance issues.

Thanks!

Tell you what, I will build you a race 20b engine, and in exchange give me your car

.
Haha, seriously that is one nice ride you have. A 20b conversion would finish it off and make it priceless!

20B rebuild kits do not cost 4k...they cost about 2K. Unless your talking about replacing multiple housings and irons....

Not to mention if you someone who will have to have someone else do the labor you could look at another couple of grand there at least.
