I am trying to decide whether I should invest in a fully built Trans from Jack's, or building a block for my next engine. I have a fully prepped race head, but don't want to put it on my current motor. I have decent compression on the current (155-160 on all 4) and a timing belt job was done recently. I am shimming my clutch pivot this weekend, but I know I will still have a bit of notchyness in the trans since it has been shifted so long with out being properly adjusted (p.o.).
I feel like I will use the trans now, and continue to use it later so that is a good option. I can get a built trans and maybe swap a bigger turbo and wait for my motor to go boom (might be a long time) while building the next However, I feel like getting the race head with cams and a new block together would also be a good choice. Even if I stay E316G (while saving for something bigger), it will be a fun car. Then again, if I do put more power down, I will probably start to hate my trans pretty quickly.
At this point I am chasing the Chicken with an Egg and trying to decide which I like better (first world problems)...So, I could use some input! Also, keep in mind I have a reliable fast and fun daily...the G-car is my project/racecar/daily(when it can...)
Thanks for reading my essay...have some boobs!
