Front mount is different. This requires either modifying the one you have, or getting the GSL-SE engine mounting plate. The 13b is like 10mm longer than the 12a.

If you have a donar car, then you should have most everything needed, other than anything that needs replaced. Be sure to use the SE clutch and pressure plate, as they are about 10mm larger OD than the SA, otherwise, even the SA tranny should work fine.

I hope the donor car's body is beyond repair. There are many who would kill for an SE with only 55K.

True, how is, and what are the plans for the -SE once it has been pillaged?
