Engine swap.. Literally.
I'm having a total brain fart and I know the differences in the housings and what not, but I was wondering if it's possible to put a turbo II engine into my 3rd gen. Please help my world of confusion. And don't ask why I would want to do that, I'm asking the questions here. Any GOOD advice is very welcomed.

Anything is possible, but the mounts are in different places, and would require a good bit of modification to the cradle. A 13BT is a great engine, but when you consider the amount of time/money it would require to modify it for use in a FD it isnt worth it. May I ask why?

A local has a really strong turbo II but got rear ended, so I was going to get it from him for close to nothing. I blew my engine so I'm thinking of possibilities. Could I just use my mounts on that engine?

Alrite thanks for the heads up, I definitely don't want to start making motor mounts or anything so I'll just get a fd motor.
