12a to 13b conversion

Ok, Im posting this for someone I just talked to, has anyone done a 12a to 13b conversion. I guess its an 82, will the 13b fit into the 1st gen engine bay? Whats needed to do the conversion?


Thanks

Chris

PS Ive searched any help with links and stuff would work.

Chris, this is probably the 3rd highest asked question. And yes it has been covered too many times. Please look in the archives. There are threads there on this.
There are also many threads in the main section also.

Cool, thanks using a N/A shouldnt be any different right? Like I said a friend needed to know if it was possible.

I wouldnt know... I would believe you can just leave out the turbo stuff and work from there. I am doing a 13b swap soon, and I am using the front cover/oil pan/12a irons. Then again, my 13b is from a -SE.


And I use the word "soon" loosely
