Hey since I havent been able to get in touch with KRRZ30 I figured I would ask some orgers.
Im looking to do a 3.5 swap and I was wondering which car I would be better off with doing this.

Either a 1996 auto with 155k
or
a 1998 auto with 150k

Just let me know what you think because Im going to look this weekend. Would an auto be fine or do I need a manual with the 3.5?

 

I say go with the 1998 simply because while both cars may have the same mileage the newer one is less exposed to weathering end such, or at least I assume. Also you can stick with the auto trains but would want to consider getting a tranny cooler and then eventually an upgraded valvebody

 

I agree with him

 

Thats more of a decision you'd have to make. I'd just go with the one I like more.

Dude you've got to make your sig smaller.

 

HOLY SIG BATMAN!

 

go with a 1998 / 5 speed manual transmission.

 

I agree go with the car you like more. You can do it with an auto just fine but a tranny cooler is a must and valve body upgrade will definitely help the tranny's longevity.

5spd would be more fun but more costly for the build.
luckily you'll have a backup car while one is down definitely a big plus
