the effort to make it work would not be worth the end result. The GSLSE 13b lacks the pass. side motor mount capability.

i'd go for the s4 turbo as it is a much easier swap. not everything with the s5 will swap over. http://www.rotaryresurrection.com/2n...o_s5_swap.html

if you have an S4 already, save yourself headaches and get another s4 motor. If you want to go with a TII that is entirely up to you and your funding.
