go with a 89-91 FC TII
97529452 times easier


btw the fd turbos are a bizzle to fit, if it can be done at all

Do a search and research, then come back with more specific questions.

BTW that particular swap is not for the inexpirenced, or the poor. Expect to spend at least 5k minimum to get all the stuff nessisary to make that swap work and work well. The 2nd gen Turbo II swap is a tad more managable, but it too isn't incredibly cheap.

Well one of my buddies told me he can get me an FD engine for 2,000. But i dont know what it comes with yet and i dont know much about those newer turbo rotaries.All i know is about NA not turbos.
