Depends too on how long you can afford to have the car down for. It being your sons only car, you may want to do a quick re-ring and done in a weekend....if your looking at it being performance based, SRT4 motor is the way to go, but finding all the hardware and electrical might take some time. If it's a show car, and you want it stock, I would go with the entire rebuild. All really depends on what you want out of it

Depends on your needs. If you can search out and follow the instructions, I would swap in an SRT-4 or PT Cruiser drivetrain. It should pencil out less than a complete rebuild of a T2 drivetrain with a rebuilt transmission and limited slip differential. You'll need custom programming on your computer to do it, but there are vendors available to fix that for you.
