Not a noob but a noob question...

This is going to be a totally n00b like question. Ive located a perfect 99 GSX. Its high mileage so I would obviously put a new 6 bolt in, but how much would it cost to go ahead and put a 4 bolt 5 speed tranny in as wel? This one is auto... Im guessing I should probably hold out and keep waiting for one like this with a 5 speed in it, but somebody shoot me an estimated number. Keep in mnd, there may be NO donor car... not sure yet. THANKS!

It will cost:
1 motor + 1 transmission + 1 arm + 1 leg.

In my girls 1g to go from auto-manual it cost 2500 parts and labor. That is a 1g where parts are readily available, I would at least double that for a 99. If you are gonna buy a 99 and dump all the money into a 6bolt conversion why not just get a higher mileage 1g and then swap in a fresher 6bolt and 5 speed. Will save you lots and it will be a bit more smog legal. Then again, 2g's are just damn sexy.
