GSL-SE to 12a swap
Anyone done this?
Hypothetically, lets say you have a GSL-SE tub. No drivetrain, no suspension. What's involved in swapping the drivetrain and suspension from a 12a car into said tub? I assume the suspension bolts right up, along with the rear axle and trans. Is the crossmember (and/or engine mounts) different? How about the wiring harness? Any other peculiarities?

Nope, both external pumps. You would need a lower pressure pump. Either the stock 12a or an aftermarket one.
If you eliminate the rats nest, you can eliminate most of the wiring harness too, pare the engine down to carb & ignition only.
