Sounds like the car is a whole lot of fun. Im planing on putting mine down
on the spring or maybe sooner to start tearing it down. I want to replace most
of the suspension parts too while im at itand anything else that looks worn.
I want to accumulate all parts for the swap before I start. Heres what i
have-complete engine with wiring harness and ECU. I have heard some diff things
about what to use for the clutch and oil pan. Supposedly need a v8 manual
clutch and manual oil pan? Do i need both engine mounts or just one, and I know
im going to have to do a custom radiater job. I think I need the v8 headers
and im going to do a custome exhaust from there on out, when that time comes
i'll figure it out. Oh, and i think i can use an automatic flywheel. So this
is what im pretty sure about. Can you varify these things for me, any other
paths I can take and what am i missing. All info is very appriciated,
especially being my first engine swap. I have a good mechanic thats also a freind
along with his son who has a 4ktq and a 90 20vtq. So i have the help just need
the parts advice, time, and money. Wow, so thats not alot. Oh well, should be
an interesting trip. have a good holliday.
