The alternator fits with a minor "piggy-plug" mod configuration to boost your amp load.

Technicly, you can move the subframe over, the 13b, the ignition, tranny, ect.

How far are you wanting to go?

I am personly taking a broken S4 and moving over the entire drivetrain to make it a bit more reliable and a significant hp increase. (I hate carbs, EFI makes since to me)

It is all what works for you.

Look closely at the "Distributor" on the FC... It's gonna be a LOT of work to get that working on the FB. *snickers*

The rad will fit with some minor modification, and creativeness on how to mount it.

I had put the engine and efi into my SA...

a bit of a pain. I never did finish that project, had to move. It would have been nice. Figuring out the wiring is a bit of a project but, definately do able with time and patience. Would be much more reliable, w/good power.

I've striped an 88 T2 for parts that are now on my car. Here's the list:

Engine + ecu + AFM + coils (w/lots a work), tranny (w/the shifter mod--not too bad), radios, seats, oil cooler (w/mods), engine fuse block, black rubber covers on the front shock towers (easy)--all of these "will work".

Oh yea, strip off all the nuts and bolts you can find and throw'em into a can for later.

That's all I can think of right now.
