Swap is going well, no build thread for me, not my style, however I would rate this a 8 out of 10 for skill level.

Now I did all the bolt on stuff (removing the motor etc and setting up my vr6, starter, adapter plate, cllutch and flywheel & oil pan), but as far any fabricating (exhaust, ac lines etc) I have some buddies of mine that are helping out. And Issam is making me my Passenger side bracket

But the only real challenge was to decide which way I wanted to go as far as harness.

Issam is doing some magic this week and well figure out whether or not well run the motor off the stock harness ( modified of course ) or go stand alone, so that's all up to issam.

I am going NA 24v VR6, and plan to go boost in about a year, so I might just go stand alone, I guess well see.


About over all cost, parts (clutch, oil pan, starter, adapter plate, flywheel, custom bracket) comes to about 2,500 give or take. Its really not that bad, but then again, like justin, I have friends who can weld/fab for me so that is a HUGE HELP financially.

As far as hoses/lines, justin said he paid over 1k in hoses and clamps n such, well See, I'll def update what the cost is for me when I get to that.

I'll def take some pics as soon as Im done and def post them up.

If your really interested in doing this swap or have questions you couldnt find answers for here, just PM/Email Issam, so far its been heaven working with him, really cool guy.
