First off, Thanks to everone for the replys on the 20v swap. Some of you ex=
pressed intrest in how it turned out. Well, it didnt. The motor had a ton o=
f sludge in it and the turbine (turbo) had a to much play in it. So now the=
 plan is to do a 10v turbo as these are eazy to come by. I think I may have=
 found one already. The car is low miles and the PO used it to drive to/fro=
m work (about 7 miles a day) untill about 5 years ago when it became the sp=
are car for the family.
The plan is to pull it, clean it up some (tuneup type stuff) and prep it. T=
hen pull the motor in the 4K, do the clutch while I'm there, maybe even rep=
lace some other bits in the front while I have access, then drop in the tur=
bo. I am hoping that the swap, once the new motor is preped, will only take=
 about 2 days to complete. I have set a date of July 1st to have it done (n=
ot holding my breath for this one). Any cautions, BTDTs, ideas, hints or li=
nks would be most helpful and I would be very greatful.
TIA

Troy K.
