Thanks fellers! Yep, got a spare 2.8L also. But its fuel injected, so there goes the easy wiring. I'm gonna do a lil ( actually lots) of research obviously before I do this. Yeah, thought weight may be an issue. I'm sure I could come up with something to make it right, I mean if I couldn't make it handle and roadworthy, it wouldn't be worth it. Am I mistaken in thinking that if I had a welder make a "cradle" mount that could adapt to the stock location, that could overcome being nose heavy? Plus, losing all the a/c stuff ( shame cause it still works), should help. I'm gonna have to break out a tape measure on it this weekend (the engine that is), cause I'm thinking another plus would be having the shifter further back. Have to checkout driveshaft, radiator clearances, exaust, oilpan, and steering. I'm not gonna be bored this weekend! Did I miss anything? Fer I forget, I do have a turbo hood on her, that should help. If it looks like its gonna be more trouble than its worth, I can still go with CA18ET. Thanks again ya'll!
