Pistons
Rods
Sleeves
Crankshaft
Cls Tranny
Camswap
Gaskets
Headstuds
Manifolds
Injectors
and Fuel Rails

hey from all the research ive done and people ive talked to the stock internals can handle hp but not boost your looking at 8psi safely 10psi is pushing it with custom internals and the rest j32 your lookin at 20psi boost and yeah the tranny sucks i found a cls 6 speed for sale its just pricy so im getting the cheaper engine stuff done for now

It's a lot of work to do the AT -> MT swap. Might be better off getting a Dr. Evil AT for $5000. It is a modified OEM tranny, so it will bolt right in. The only problem is that it is a modified OEM tranny that falls apart. The Dr. Evil will handle more power and outlive the stock one, but there is always the potential for it to fail. If I were you, I'd ask Dr. Evil about their warrantee.
