Hey everyone!

So I have a few questions about a rebuild on a engine and trans. I have talked to both Jack's Transmissions and Dogbox Racing about rebuilding the trans to OEM with a rebuild kit but upgrading to the EVOIII gears and 4-Spider diff. I am getting new clutch master and slave cylinders as well

Does anyone have a list of the internals of the trans (AWD 5 -speed)? I want to replace as close to factory new as I can, plus the upgraded gears.

BTW I am looking to achieve 350-400HP and am also buying an MHI EVOIII 16G, EVOIII Exhaust Manifold, and EVOIII O2 Housing to accomodate this rebuild.

Now as far as the engine, I want it in as close to factory new as I can get it as well. I have the parts listed below so please tell me if I am missing anything or if you have a better recommendation.

Thanks for your input and if anyone knows a good machine shop with a hot tank in Mercer County, let me know!!

Looks like a great build man.

For future reference i believe the name your looking for is "Crower"

Oops I just noticed that and I'm going to edit it now.

And any gaskets I am missing or bolts I should replace (I am buying new valve cover bolts but forgot to list it!)? :D
 
I personally woud go with some good name brand products on some items that are dedicated to what they do, R&Ded and proven. Timing belt, bearings and valve seals. Gates, ACL, Ferrea... They are probally cheaper and better.

ARP head studs... if you want arp main bolts too
OEM/ITM 3g lifters
Maybe FP exhaust manifold instead of E3??
OEM crank pulley or some proven Fluid Damper

I understand your want for oem components, just not sure to how much extent

Well I want to get the car back as close to factory before modding it. So I am doing that first (with exceptions of the upgraded pistons, rods, cams, etc) and the OEM is the way to go for MOST things from my experience. I was thinking about the Gates pumps and timing belt kit but if I can get OEM for around the same [price then I will do that.
