5-speed swap/rebuild

[SilverSupraT]

EDIT: A clarification, I would like to rebuild my R154, not my engine. I've already done that


I'm going to be doing a swap soon. I have both complete cars so I'm not really afraid of not having "this" or "that" on hand. BUT when I do this I would like to do it right so that I don't have to touch it for a while.

I would like to get a rebuild kit that is as complete as possible. Also, I'm looking to get a new high performance clutch/pressure plate, flywheel, aluminum drive shaft....and anything else I might not be thinking of.

What all should I be getting here? I'm going to be doing all the work myself and would like to keep the project under $1500 if possible, cheaper is better but I still want it done right the first time.

If you've got links to parts or recommendations on brands or whatnot I would be extremely appreciative!

stock flywheel that is resurfaced (reuse yours), with a HPF bronze 6 puck clutch, can choose from act PP or a RPS PP...both rated at 600+ TQ (very streetable)
750$
or u can get a spec 2 or 3 for around 490$
Rebuilt kit for what exactly??
internals? gaskets? im just wondering..

replace oil pump...
ARP studs or bolts with MHG

Anything and everything for the rebuild. I'm trying to find out what would be the best for me for the price I guess. The transmission works but when I hit the gears hard they'll grind some (especially 3rd). Now that might be a result of the clutch sucking but I just want to cover all my bases and get it built the best it can be.

if u hear grinding it might be time for a rebuild on the R514 tranny im guessing is what u have......how mny miles u got on the clutch

oh replace your oil pump shaft bearings as well

Anyone else? I'm kinda being lazy here, I know, but I want to get this stuff on order so that I can get this done before Xmas (present for myself ). I've found plenty of stuff to go with but I'm looking for advice on what I SHOULD get, both in variety of parts as well as brands and such.

BUMPITY

I'd really like to order this stuff tomorrow or Wednesday. If no one wants to help I'll blame you guys when it doesn't work right the first time!

(except oscolivar1 )

Thanks guys!

haha..i dont know what else to tell you really..
replace all gasket either getting it from stealership or a felpro GH kit.
if your using stock exhaust mani, PM bigaaron for a stud upgrade kit. 7/16,, or stock 10mm.
ross, wisco, ross pistions will all do. i think there were like pistons from like sumthing performance selling it for like 350$. it some site usally known for selling stuff for hot rods etc. maybe some can chime in. thread was like a week ago.
stock rods<eagles rods<crower rods<pauter rods is the order of whats is said to be best.
dont really know what else to tell you.
