you would need the 325 engine & box, ecu, rad, expansion tank, prop, diff, front springs & dampers, coding plug for instrument cluster, there will be a few other things but I can't think of them at the moment

probably best getting a snotter of a 325 that is crashed or rotten as hell

It's all bolt on stuff though

quite a bit of work,might be better buying a 2.5
