just got 88 Convet looking to turbo

I found where I can get an ECU, wiring harness uncut, motor that has everything(turbo, IC, etc) and tranny. What else would I need to do this? Will the motor just drop right in?

Sigh.............

Best bet is to find a complete parts car and either rebuild the engine or get a good JSpec block. Otherwise, it's a real PITA to piece the parts together separately and probably much more damage to your wallet. Everything bolts right in.


Any other questions, the search button will reap you loads of info if you just use it.
