engine swap

If you have 10,000$ to play with.... then sell your coupe.. and go buy
something that you can modify alot more.  Yes you could do alot with your
car with 10k, but if you bought a 91 200 20v you could do alot more and have
quattro to boot.  You could even find a nice UrQuattro and still have money
to spend on it.

Problems with your ideas... 

Turboing a FWD car... not that good an idea with the CoupeGT... torque steer
becomes a problem... and ontop of that you would have to switch to a manual
trans to handle the extra power..

hello,

Well here's the story, ...i want to do an engine swap and maybe tranny when 
my car gets the rollover damage repaired.  I was just wondering if anybody 
knows the price of a new turbo engine with tranny, and installation. I 
should have about $10000 to play with. i want to make my 87cgt up to speed 
and performance.  maybe just a full rebuild of my engine is needed, but i 
just want some prices and if anyone knows how to and can do it or a good 
place to have it done.  maybe a turbo upgrade on my current engine.

thanks alot
