Have you thrown it in the aby yet? If not you are probably going to need motor mounts and harness adapters and a different ecu.



Lol this reminds me of the time this one dude came on here and some how pulled his engine out and was going to put another in but had no idea what he was doing lol. He didnt make sense either so we couldnt really help him out Do you remember that sac? It was like 2 months ago.
