getting there... still some more Q's about engine swap...

well, got most of the crap off and getting ready to pull the engine this weekend, just have a few last questions

1) can a fc header or fuel pump be used? I would think that since the engine was the same size the header could be used.
2) would it be better to use the 12a or 13b tranny?
3)any potential problems that anyone has run into when putting in the engine?

Thanks

1) Yes and yes but the fuel pump is in the tank not in line. See my MSN site for some pictures on the swap.

2) Just keep the 12A for now. I have been using it for 25K now and its working OK, but it's going out. If you have a -SE tranny laying around puting that in would be best.

3) What kind of engine in what. I guess I missed a post

Ok saw your Sig. The swap is EZ I'm sure you know the main things. Are you going to put springs on when you swap the suspension? This is a good time to do other mods when you have everything apart.
