Judging from your old posts, I highly recommend you do not attempt this yourself. Sorry if it sounds harsh.

how much do you think a swap of everything working that is needed from a 87 N/A to a GSL-LE with 13b fuel injected, and 6 port?


or would it be more worth it to just get a working gsl-le?

the thing is i have a 87 N/A motor


so how much do you think i could get for selling my car for individual parts?? the engine has 100,000 miles on it but has great compression. i have a race pipe, headers (never used), k&n filter. the rear end is in perfect condition (doors, and back). and some other ****.

WHAT is "great" compression? the compression numbers can be a key to finding out just how great the compression is.

As Scott said, the gains wouldn't justify the hassle, especially considering the problems you're likely to encounter due to your inexperience...

why do you want to part out your car? did you wreck it or something?
