Boy, it cost more than I thought it does, I hope I am able to find a doner car when I do my swap, that is, if I can ever get it running[&:]

well you dont need the STS, they dont even make them anymore for 1st gens

then i'm pretty sure you can just use a regular jack for the transmission

and the auto TB is better anyway

so theres a few dollars gone

Well he does say...
First let me emphasize, the route I took is NOT THE CHEAPEST ROUTE POSSIBLE. I understand that there are several instances where I spent more than others have, but I did not do so blindly.
So it can be done for less money.

The ATX PCM will work, but you will have a lower rev limit and a code for the torque converter (obviously because the MTX doesn't have one).
