buying a front clip, better?

would it be easier to install a 20b in an FD if you had the complete Cosmo front clip or does it saves little?

like ignition, an other stuff, is there any hassle that would be solved this way?

thanks a lot

well it depends on what you want out of it. if you want a totally stock 20b then a front cut is the way to go, but if you are going single turbos than you dotn need anything except the block and intakes

I chang'd all my stuff over to 13b parts ie. alternator, water pump, a/c condenser, powersteering strictly for ease of replacing things that break and availbility of accessory belts. It all will convert over all you have to do is remove a couple of studs

ok but what about the coils or all the wiring?

will everything from an FD fit?

also, how hard is it to fit the 20B tranny, is it better to keep the FD for the driveshaft, PPF, etc?
