Yeah might be easier than trying to swap engines.
And eddie I has a 97 as well its just down at the moment.

if i get my tranny built would it then be better to get a turbo or are superchargers better allaround

[gtpeddie]

You can make more power on a turbo, you just need a good built transmission and money for a nice turbo kit

[gtpeddie]

Read this if your thinking about going turbo

Dam alot to think about

[Slick2500]

Lets start over how much money are you willing to spend on this car?
If your going turbo you better be ready to spend upwards of $5,000 on turbo parts and a built trans, that's saying that you buy all the turbo parts new and get a fresh rebuilt trans from TEP or ZZP or something.
Where as if you go with the top swap being as you have a gtp to take the parts off of all you need is time gaskets fluids and a tune. The top swap should not cost you more than $500 after everything is said and done.

[97and02grandprix]

well said, after that i think i might just do a top swap afterall jw how long you think that would take

[97and02grandprix]

would i have to do anything to the tranny if i do this?

[gtpeddie]

Depends on how good you are with mechanical work and how familiar you are with these cars.

The transmission on your 02 should hold up fine

[brandonl2000]

Just know with a top swap, you need to have connection to a good tuner. Gettin top swap to run right is in your tune.

[Slick2500]

Um if you don't know your way around these cars I would say about 2 days of work to get everything swapped.

[97and02grandprix]

where is a good place to get a tune

[97and02grandprix]

i for got what states you guys where in i gess i will have to find one by me myself

[gtpeddie]

This is everything you will need for a top swap and a crank pulley, plus gaskets, etc..
