I can get the motor for about a grand from the guy complete with the ECU, engine harness, alternator, intercooler, manifolds, up pipe, down pipe and stock turbo. Is the motor worth buying? Also what would i need for the swap. I heard that my 2.5 RS trans is better to use also i would just need a new clutch. I was also told the only thing i would need for the swap would be the complete motor, bigger exhaust, new clutch for the 2.5 rs trans and a jdm sti crossmember. Did I miss anything guys. Your help and advice would be greatly appreciated?
switch your title. GC8 to WRX swap
