I would test drive a 5sp sc300 first, loooong before I would put your v8 on the market. I would take a good condition sc400 over the same in a 5sp sc300. Just my opinion. Now if you want a nice, reasonable priced 5sp coupe, go no further than an early e46 BMW 330. Test drive a good one, it will make your day.

I live here in MD, Baltimore in fact. Many of my NELOC members have done the conversion for under $5K. $2-$3K is reasonable in our area, especially if you do alot of the work yourself, or have the help of friends who know what they are doing. This, my man, is the power of networking. Use it. To the OP of this thread, I would consider the swap and hold on to your car. As others have said, you know what has been done and/or what may need to be done. With another car, you will prety much be starting all over again with the guess work.

find someone else selling something similar and you'll know who is trying to eliminate the competition by flagging your add (it has to be a Craigslist member flagging it for it to be removed....twice). Then arrange to see their car and kick them in the *****.

OP,
Your car is beautiful. It's funny that you mentioned wanting a 5 spd SC3 ... I just saw a Craigslist ad for a '92 for less than $5K (Orlando).
BTW ... I really like those wheels. What are they?
