Engine swap into a S4
im looking at buying an 88 turbo ii which will most likely need an engine rebuild.
I was thinkign about just swappin an engine while im at it. Is there any problem with swapping an s5 13b-t engine into it? im sure there isn't but im just trying to cover my bases. What about a 13b-tt engien form an FD is that a more or less easy swap to do? What are some of the things that will ahve to be changed? I tried searching but it wont get specific on my search and it brings up all teh ls1 swaps.

The twin turbo motor has been said to be an expensive swap as you have to have custom engine and tranny mounts and is a wiring nightmare. I would say just stick to the motor in the car and get it streetported and rebuilt. and s5 motor is no better than an s5 motor
