Alright new engine is in. well aperently the stock turbo and manoild is 1 1/4" to wide and hits the frame so going to have find someone to make me a manifold to lift it up and push it foward. But other then that engine went in with no problem, tranny cross member was pretty easy, Just put some nice steel plates to push it back about 4" and supports the tranny good. Shifter is pushed back about 6" and is a really nice postion although hand brake will have to be replaced with a shorter one.

Well enjoy the pics.

somebody makes a turbo manifold for a 12 or was it a 13b for the earily rotaries. it moved the turbo closer to the front of the car, and the manifold wasn't as wide. I dont recall where i saw it though. lates matt22

Yea, some one local does that, Rene, I'm trying to get in contact with him so that he could make me one. Hopefully I will get it running by the end of the week.

Cheers
