Hmmm that makes a lot of sense. The current engine it the car is at just over 202000 miles (325000 kms) and uses about 1 quart of oil for every 625 miles (1000 kms). If I could reduce the oil consumption somehow I would def have no problem with staying with that engine. I have seriously considered doing a 5 speed swap in the past and was leaning more towards running a Teg Gsr or type R transmission. But now that I'm looking more towards higher fuel mileage I should consider the LS transmission instead. I'm sure I could consider doing a mild overhaul and possably do an over bore on the stock motor while its out for the manual swap. It is not my daily driver so I can have it down to do modifications to it.
