Tires
LSD

The stock FD rims will not fit up front on an FC.

N/A or turbo? An FD fuel pump is a good cheap upgrade.

No, not unless you swap out the entire water pump housing, alternator, and studs.
Then, the outlet gets moved, so you need a custom hose to mate up with the FC radiator.


brakes
Front brake calipers, yes.
Rotors no.


,t/b injectors nething ??
Throttle body?
No.

Fuel injectors?
No, FD ones are all side-feed; FC ones are all top feed.
No, you can't swap the fuel rails either.

If turbo, and with the FEED FC to FD manifold adaptor you can run the FD UIM and TB.

as long as you specify to use the '87-'88 TII clutch style LSD that is rebuildable, super beefy and can even be more aggressive if you're willing to rebuild it with different clutch plates.

(do not use the S5 viscous fluid LSD)
