What should I do? Disclaimer: The Starion is actually quite fun to drive, I'm afraid spending too much time in it may change my mind about tearing it apart <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> ![[Linked Image]](http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b240/jamez38/raiderstarion.jpg)

Remove G54BT, replace with 4G63T. You'll need a different trans, but it will be SO worth it.

Really no sense in tearing up a decent Starion, heck, they're scarce enough. This one looks like it has the SHP option... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

True, could always flip it and make more cash to put towards a ratty eclipse... then pull the tail section off the proper 2WD trans, mate to TCase, and have a 4G63T raider! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I was wishing I lived just about anywhere else while looking for a parts car <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> Not sure about the SHP deal. I read something about looking at the number stamped into the rims. I was mostly concerned with the condition of the drivetrain. The PO spent a good chunk having the motor rebuilt, but it definately has its issues. Its a world of difference being used to a carby. Good to feel that torque when the gauge moves into boost <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> I wish you wouldn't tear apart that pretty car... Hard to find in decent shape these days. Find yourself a Blazer and just do a 4.3 swap instead.
