Re: swap 760 turbo - 740 gle, possible?HELP! 700 187

bastard... the n/a motor isn't *that* slow ;)

to do a straight swap, you'll need all three harnesses (well, engine, left side, and right side) adn the ecu and its harness. The ecu has a different connector than the n/a one, that part will be a bit tricky, but it does all come out without breaking anything ;).

you'll need the downpipe back to the cat i believe, but nab as much of it as you can, you can always throw it away later. you'll also need to grab the resistors, they're on the driver's side fender well i believe. get ALL of the oil plumbing and such.

Fuel pumps are different, you'll need the 760's (under the car, driver's side, just cut it out)

Basically, you're going to transplant engine compartments, so if its something that looks even remotely important, grab it. The charcoal canister is something you don't need....

Also, while you've got the harness out, do yourself a really big favor and go through it and fix any suspect wires and re-do the insulation on it, it'll save you the hassle for a while.

most of all, enjoy! the 760's are quick (esp when you crank the boost up)
