The engine we are building will be a second gen turbo short block. As for cost projections I'm guessing anywhere between 10-15,000 for the main part of the build and who knows with all the odds and ends after eferything os said and done. I'll pm prices for the motor tranny ecu and whatever else I'll be scrapping when I get home from work.
As for the guy who asked where I am in Germany I'm not there yet I'm going to be stationed there come next january and I'm hopeing like hell that we can finish this by then. I'm going to be stationed at katterbach. Not sure what that's by yet but when I get there you'll see me toting around on the autobahn lol.

Yeah my friend has an 94 FC and he always makes sure to check the oil and change it every 3k. IIRC he's still on his first motor and he's pushing ~300 HP. He told me the 13B was finicky so you just have to keep close tabs on it kinda like you have OCD. So far so good for him.
HURRY HURRY! I wanna see the swap done already!
As far as the rearend the S2K is the same as the FC/FD IIRC as far as size. You'd probably just have to get a custom driveshaft made is all.

good luck with your build. I love seeing swaps, I don't particularly understand why your putting that engine in this car since they are both almost equally rated in power and especially when you say that your f22c is perfect. Regardless, I look forward to seeing this swap.

Your car will be worth little or nothing after the swap.Also the whole essense of the S2k
is lost. An opinion....You sound a little agitated or even angry in your posts,think this one out.History shows that cars that are too modified,whether GTOs or Ferraris are not
worth the effort put into them.
Although I may sound critical,I still give you my best wishes.
BTW..The s2k transmission is acclaimed to be about the best

im doing this for fun and mostly just to see if i can do it. the real challenge is not what it will be worth but how much i will resect myself for doing this and driving it every day that i want.
