13b -> 79' 12a?
Yeah, so here's the deal.
It turns out that I'll be driving this '79, so I really want to make it mine. I want to make it the ultimate sleeper (NO V8s please! ).
I don't know much about cars, as sad as it is. I'm really trying to learn, so I'm here to ask questions.
Now, what is involved with swapping a 13b into a 12a? I know they mount differently, but that's not much of a problem, is it? I saw the mounting brackets.
So, what kind of 13b can I dump into my 79? Are there any restrictions? What if I want it turbo?
I was under the impression that after I buy a new engine, I'd need to get an accomodating transmission, and new exhaust? Si?
How much do you think, throwing the best 13b I could into the 79, with all necessary parts (trans,exhas), would run me?
Please teach me, I have lots to learn

Oh no , not another one of these posts... Man Im gonna have to do a write up on this... If you want a nice sleeper see my sig, that will give you the ingredients for one... But the cost of the ingredients will be the sum of around 10k or so, with you doing the labor

nice sig. short and to the point (yes.. i am trying to sarcastically point out that you did not post it).
but to the point. there is an abundance of information floating around the forum. if you take the time to search for it, i am sure that you will find everything that you are looking for
