my stock a4 tranny blew at 78k miles but i was the 3rd owner who knows what the other people did with the car and how they drove it. btw opti and water pump at your mileage usually go out so thats like a tune up

I got ahold of a Water Pump for $50 when I needed one, Opti I have seen for between $200-$300.. I don't know about Hoses, I have to get one here when I do my Swap..
These Engines are not that hard to work on...you can save a shitload of money by doing it yourself.
Some of us on here should start giving classes on how to do **** with Engines..
I can build LT1's and LS1's all day long..

i will agree. new waterpump is around 150 97 venter optispark from gm is around 280 and new hoses im assuming would cost around 100. i like to add also i jsut bought a brand new waterpump for 60 bucks off a dude around me that sold his lt1 and didnt need it no more so if you look around you can buy new or slightly used parts for dirt cheap
If you learn how to do your own work you will save a shitload of $.

It took me about an hour and a half to change the Water Pump and clean the OPTI in my LT1 when it was in there..
Yes, I'm waiting for someone to call bull **** also, cause I know it's goin to happen..
