13bt swap questions.

Okay so the FB I found awhile back finally has a destiny. It's a little rough to take back to the road, but It's going to turn in to a drift missile.
So my car currently has a home stock 12a, my buddy is selling me a running turbo 2 drivetrain.
How hard is this swap.
I know about the racing beat engine mounts, and the wiring harness. Any other major mods I need to do?

there are quite a few threads floating around that can help with details. i'll get you started, but there will probably more things to do than i mention, especially if you plan to do things right.

major modifications:

fuel system

driveshaft

safety (that's my general heading for brakes, steering and suspension mods you'll need after at least doubling the stock output)

exhaust

What year is the T2 drivetrain from? That will determine a lot. There have been tons of threads on here about the swap, it's fairly straightforward if you can turn a wrench and read a wiring diagram
