This also does not include any fabrication to make it fit and bolt up. This also does not include an exhaust. So it is not a bolt on thing with an engine swap like this it will take some fabrication and a custom exhaust.

Well if you ever do a writeup or have pics. Please let me know.

Also are these racers on this forum? I would love to see if they have talked about it at all on here.

Does your version having a working tach/traction control/abs?

As far as I know they are not on the fourm. And I do not see any reason why the car wouldn't still have traction control and abs after the swap.

Less weight maybe?

SmsAlSuwaidi · 11-18-2013, 02:39 PM

Most swaps delete the steering aids and add power steering but it might've not fit properly with his setup

Cool. from what i remember, weapons grade got the AC to work, i wonder how much swap kit prices will come down in the future

$20-25K to do this swap right. At half that cost, we will start seeing more jumping ship to the dark side.
