I did check pricing for a complete rebuild on my trans when I was going through it. They were in the $7-9K range already pulled, so my $12K wasn't out of line for the work done. But i'm still stuck with a trans I drive like it's made of cheap glass. LOL
I had planned to get the heads ported, non CIS pistons and a good cam to take advantage of my carbs.... but looking at $10-15K if I do the work for MAYBE 20hp is part of why I am considering my options.
If it was 10K to get a well sorted hot lil 3L i'd be all in, but its more like $30K. When an engine is 80-90% the cost of the cars value things are upside down.
Maybe a hot lil Lotus would give me what the Porsche can not within any reasonable budget. A fun flickable sports car with enough power to push you into the seat without being a bellybutton (Corvette). I honestly think in todays market it would take $40-50K on top of my car to get it to that place.
