What do i need to drop in an FD Twin Turbo engine into my FC?
My friend is considering an LS1 swap and he is selling me his running Engine for Cheap... he also said i could take anything that i needed.
So what do i need? aside from the engine, tranny, harness, and mounts? are many of the items in my FC compatiple with the FD engine? Coils?
Thanks for the help guys

The simple answer is No! The motor mounts are in different locations as well as other issues; however if you have enough time and money it can be done. Much of the project will be custom fabricating all the systems that attach to the engine such as the exhaust, intercooler setup, cooling system and wiring. A standalone EMS is almost required and it is very difficult to control the sequential turbos. Most people go to a single turbo because of this. In general this swap is not worth the time and trouble unless you plan on making more then 450 HP.
