Why? Unless you're putting serious power down...

Not sure if you have an LSD in the conv., but if that's what you want, get an NA LSD diff. and you'll have less work.

See post #4. Get the TII rear end and bolt it in with the engine once you get that. You could re-use the clutch stuff, but would probably end up with an extra flywheel. No use putting the rear end ahead of time and having to put a TII flywheel and clutch in before you need it.

OK, then post #4 is not a bad idea then. Just make sure that when you switch from the NA to TII flywheel you don't have to mess with the front counterweight. I don't remember myself, but have seen threads on this. GL.

Under certain conditions, when changing flywheels, you have to change the front counterweight. You may not have to do this, but I can't say for sure. Search to be sure.

Yes, the S5 engine will bolt up to the S4 rear end.

"Suspension & Driveline (including transmission questions)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can I install the Turbo II transmission into an NA?

Certainly. But you need to also install:
-TII flywheel, clutch, pressure plate
-TII slave cylinder
-TII starter
-TII driveshaft, differential, axels
-Adapt the wiring."

Have alot of fun with that. I have a S5 that I converted into a 5 speed with a TII drivetrain so it can be done with alot of hassle.

The car is an S5 and the drivetrain is out of a S4 TII. I left the counter weight on and bolted an ACT prolite flywheel. Installing a light flywheel to the auto counterweight will be alot easier than pulling off the flywheel nut. You will have to remember to install a pilot bearing because I almost forgot. And I believe convertables don't need a bracket for the transmission crossmember. But the drivetrains are interchangeable regardless of series as long as you use either all TII or All N/A parts. And by the way the autos have a 3.90 rear end ratio.

Everthing from the flywheel back is from an '87 T-II.

are you sure you arent in over your head? you not knowing what the pressure plate is could be a huge problem if you want to do a Tii swap.

to answer the question, no you dont have to pull the engine, but you have to buy and install a lightweight flywheel if you want to keep your counterweight. if you want to put a stocker on, you must remove the counterweight and bolt the stock one onto the shaft. either way, dont forget to put a pilot bearing in!!!
