Mike,,, the only thing i am a little unsure of is
welding the motor mount locations to use the cosmo
stock mounts, since i am using the cosmo trani,
i cant use the k2rd Cosmo motor mount adapters
to use the stock 88 locations.
not that i really wanted to pay that high price for those Cosmo motor mount adapters, but it sure would have made it easier to put this motor in with them.
the other thing i am unsure of is, what all wont work in the car without the 88's stock computer in the car?

im not 100% sure what doesnt work in the car but here a short list.
tach
boost gauge?
fuel pump (your gonna have to rig the 20b/89+ style relay in there)
a/c (you can use the 20b ecu ground)

if i think of any more i'll post

yes i had seen those pictures and that is the way i am
going to do the mounts,,, i am going to cut the old
mounts off the cosmo clip and put them on the fc.
I have already got the fuel relay system working
and i am guessing there will be no a/c, the boost gauge
and tack are easy, cant wait to get started,,, but
have to wait for the paint to dry in the engine bay.

Does anyone know if the throttle cable is going to be a problem? This just popped into my head last night.... has anyone run into this yet?

what i am going to do is loop over the drivers side shock tower with the throttle cable from the cosmo, it is lots long and should work fine.
