i cant wait to see your project Farbin, I seriously considered the s50 too bad, you are in Cali, we could see who's is faster when done. Have you gotten to the disc brakes yet?

[Farbin Kaiber]

I had the same fun with my 85 too. Still coping. It isn't really bad when you stop and realize what one can do with a rusty 23 ford t bucket.

word. any pics/info and such would be helpful. how he did the driveshaft what diff he's runnin would be awesome. right now im dealing with taking care of apparantly "minor" holes in the floor.

He's in queens, NY -- near JFK. I will do my best to try to find more pics while I wait to hear from him.

hey man where is this car located? I'd love to talk with the guy about how he mounted it, wired it, etc.
thats an interesting intake manifold, thats an N/A 13b? thats good to see he was able to mount it there i was worried about the front subframe.
mine should look about the same + twin turbos :)

[Febi Guibo]

This is not my car, but it is my pic. I will try to check in with this guy and see how is progress is going.

Anyway I'm subscribing to this thread, keep us informed and stick with it. I think the swap is a great idea!!

Subframe is out, front suspension is out. Car is pretty much stripped down.
Time to restore it if possible if youve seen my thread in General I've got some rust to overcome. Time to chop and weld.

update: my car is a rust bucket. :) been doing a lot of grinding and cutting :) probably going to clean this stuff up, get the suspension in and tow it to a body shop roll it in get some patches welded up.

I would never do this swap, but it looks like your putting in some time.
One piece of advice: Half bridge and make sure to run less than a bar of boost unless your planning to replace the apex seal every 30k
