The Indiana 5.0 Swap

[Lebstanka]

Apparently my friend said he was trying to instal rotors and they hit a tie ride end or something. Will post full update later this eve. Still no wheel found from UPS.

Lmaooo @ "make it rain" idk tho it would take a shit ton of tire and rear in for the turbo set up. Plus drive-ability is in question. Hey what slave cylinder are you guys using/ recommending again?

[jalopi]

If you can "make it rain wit dem benjamins" I'd do the turbo. I mean, 302's right, it's pretty pointless, especially if you don't have beefy axles and tons of tire. But regardless, I'd love an extra 100-150 wheel whorepower :)

[e30_302]

My free advice: don't do the turbo setup. A turbo 5.0 will have a hard time making less than 400 HP, which is a lot in an E30. I'd save the hassle and expense and do a nice 300 RWHP build, which doesn't take much.

For the rear make sure you go to jagsthatrun.com to get the diff flange for custom driveshafts.

Dude sounds like it's time to choke a bitch

Thanks UPS for losing my more than 20 year old wheel. Last time I checked 4 wheels per automo-car >:|

You could get away with a decent swap with 4k. 1k Jy motor and tranny. Spend rest of the cash on the swap stuff like pedals/mcs/pedal mount, slave mount, and exhaust/headers. Prob a good rad/fan setup wouldnt be a bad idea either.


Parts list looks good. Keep us updated
