I had to share - I got the word today. The beast runs! All that is left is FMIC and piping, exhaust, intake fabrication and guages. I may be doing some chassis stiffening too...smiles. My wait is almost over!

I am having the whole swap, including the wiring, done by a professional mechanic.
I have read other posts several months ago that suggested that different parts from an alltrac could be used but I am 80% sure that mine has one custom fabricated mount.
I am not sure what you mean - but I do have air conditioning if thats what you are asking. I am going to be installing an aftermarket cruise control because I like having my foot off the gas when I am getting rh. 
All that is left for the engine swap is FMIC and piping, exhaust, intake fabrication and guages. When I get the car back, I am installing a strut bar (DG Performance), J speed side tower connectors, and an underbody brace for chassis stiffening. I am kicking around the idea of a non-obtrusive 4 point roll cage - probably custom. This winter I am getting my seats fixed, getting a clean body kit and a nice paint job. I am leaving open the possibility of also some power upgrades but I want to see how the 3s at 14psi does. Quite frankly, it just might be enough. - Jay -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |
