Thinking Of Buying FC Shell and Installing Engine..Any Advice?
Hey guys,
I'm new here and I found a Turbo FC shell for under $800, but it has no engine, transmission or ECU. My question is how hard is it to install an engine and transmission into this car? I have done an engine swap on my car, but it's a FWD car and I don't know if this swap will be much harder.
Any good sites with good prices on JDM motors? I found one site that had a Turbo motor for that FC for about $1500 before shipping. That included...engine, tranmsission, ECU, harness and I also believe it had the intercooler and piping.
Thanks for the help!!!!

If you've done an engine swap before, the installing the engine should not present a problem.
