    I found this on the local Craigslist a while ago at $125 and the owner has recently brought the price down. I have a 99 GT and would love to add some extra power with a top swap, but am not sure what else I would need/how much it should cost me. I would likely have a friend do it for me, mostly because I know very little about engines. I saw a thread a while ago that contained a laundry list of parts I would need, so I am aware of the necesities, however Im just curious about what this actually includes, as seen in the post picture. Thanks a lot in advance.

    thats only the blower. you need a lot more than that to do a top swap.

    on the price itself, it isnt bad.

    Like bio said, you need heads, lim, blower, misc. Pulleys/tensioners and Idlers.

    I have a couple blowers and the heads, lim and valves covers if you'd like me to give you a price on all of that shipped to you, just shoot me a pm.

    Alright thanks a lot. I dont really have ton of money to put into the car and it sounds kinda like thats what its gonna be. I would pm you 99gpgt,, but I already know its gonna be out of my price range haha. Im on a low budget, trying to run my own business while figuring out a way to attend a $60,000 college in the fall, all while still being in high school. I knew that $75 seemed cheap and wasnt sure how much extra I would need. Thanks anyway!
