Ha! About $35K (at the blue light special).
Transaxle is another $18K if you want the better gearbox.

Then there will be the engine electronics you will need, revised tach, better brakes, and upgraded suspension to handle the extra power...

Is it cheaper/better value to buy a crate GT-3 engine or spend the necessary money to upgrade the hell out out an existing 3.6 993 motor?
