now is this fairly hard to put it in my FB? does everything like inner fenders bolt up to it or do i have to modify it to get all FB body on it? anyone know of a write up?

 

This is what I found using the terms subframe swap in the search function. :-)

search a few pages down, a thread by a guy in norway. orange 1st gen with FC subframe and very nice pics

 

Not easy, but anything can be done with tine and money

 

so i should just use the SE front cover then. lots of people have done this with no problems. The only thing i would have to do is drill a hole in the cover for the oil line to the turbo and the omp is just a swap.

 

yes its that easy with the SE front cover. The people that used to swap the whole subframe was mostly to get the rack and pinion off the 2nd gens. But thanks to billy now we have a bolt on kit. He is planning on making a special mount to add on that kit to adapt that style of engine without having to swap out front cover. not sure how far in development he is on it now.

 

Last time I asked him he said sometime in the spring we'd hear more about the center iron mounting kit....

And yes, the SE cover makes things nice and easy, thats how my T2 engine is mounted...
