Hey, I'm thinking about doing a t2 motor and tranny swap into an 87 base. For 600 dollars, I could get my hands on engine, turbo, trannsmission, a/c components, alternator, starter, complete intake manifold, power steering, clutch assembly, flywheel, pressure plate, distributor, all brackets, coil packs, intercooler and turbo manifold. What other components would I need?? Would I need the t2 rear end?? The wiring harness and electrical stuff?? Any advice and I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks

t2 diff or special drive shaft to go from t2 tranny to na rearend ( t2 tranny has more splines ) you can use your na wiring just a few things you have to change 3 wires i think it has been covered multiple times (searh for na 2 t2 harness conversion)

If he has a base its an open differential, NA open differential + 250HP = Explode. I'd pick up a turbo rear end or at least an S4 NA LSD.

well i did the same swap and i can say its better to use the t2 harness and ecu and as far as the rear end you dont have to change it mazdatrix sales a special drive shaft for that swap i have it, and i love it just go to www.mazdatrix.com and order it, its a t2 drive shaft with the na u joints to match up with the na diff the swap is not hard either just some things you have to consider but its worth it get a 87 t2 and you will be alright
