I'm asking about the zl-de
1. Where can you find the manual transmission for this engine? and what's the cost?
2. Do you get the gear leverand all the necessary linkages to complete and auto to manual conversion.
3. who selling the oil filter and was oil to use for best performance (10w30 etc...).
4.what spark plugs are the best to buy?
5. Is there a cold air intake available for this engine on the market? where can i find it and cost?
6. Extractors; cost, where and how much?
7. what's the best size of exhaust pipe to put on? 2inch, 2.5?
Any help will be good, advice too.
ps, what do i do with the B3 engine that i have sitting down. Bore it to 1.6 get B6 pistons and turbo? suggestions....

1. Dunno
2. Most likely those components will need to be purchased separate from the box itself
3. Any parts place would have the oil filter. Mobile Redline Royal Purple 10W30 IMHO
4. NGK Copper BKR5E i think. For the ZM engine ZFR5F is the recommended plug. dunno if it makes any difference.
5. TSC has a SRI. Could be modified to a CAI with a few more parts. PM him.
6. As ghostbusters will tell you, the ZL-VE headers would be best.
7. Dont go beyond 2" for that 1500 engine.
