Greg you now that you are going to atleast want the suspension, and diff, yuo will just end up looking for another one 6 months from now so why not keep it?



Ken

BTW your avatar reminds me of one of those "ninjas from the real ultimate power web site.

i was thinking the same thing, nice find greg, do us a favor please dont primer it either, the car looks good, lets keep it that way!!

good call on keeping the gsl suspension, you just saved yourself 100lbs of unsprung weight!!!

Do the FI now while you have a complete running donor car sitting around. The hardest part of the swap is chasing down all the necessary bits and pieces.

Get the wiring diagrams and the FSM. There is an ECU pin-out voltage diagram in the FSM which is priceless for the swap.

Enjoy, PM with questions on the motor swap.
