Just one question.. Can this be done? Or has it for that matter? this would probably be expensive but it would rule.. anywayas thanks for helping the new guy.. Big dreamer..

 

its been done, can be done, price can vary. There are a few people last i knew here on this forum that where very interested in doin this very thing, myself included. But like anything else its quite involved, with the motor mounts most likely being the most difficult, but not impossible.

 

I thought the tranny mounts would be the most difficult if you use the Turbo tranny.

If you don't, then the hardest thing would be not to destroy the tranny and rear with that engine.

For the engine, people say use the 12A or GSL-SE front cover for the front mount holes.

 

Its been done, I have put a later model 13B in a 79 for a friend of mine... I had change the front cover to a 12A cover, and the oil pan.. Other than that it was easy

Intake manifold and carb, was somewhat differcult.. Good luck..

 

HFpower this might help. I dont know if the links are up or have been update, though.
