nucking futz. I've got a 85' coupe GT, but I don't think mine will ever have a V8. Simply bad ass.

[dspl1236]

Thanks guys, its been interesting. I had the v8 swap in '91 80q as a test fit...but that car also got 1.8t and a VR in it....so it was the test chassis. Buddy and I also did a mk2 jetta quattro swap from a 4000cs years ago.

Challenge makes it that much more fun

[NickBroderick]

Want.

[dspl1236]

i have figured a nissan D21 radiator is needed to sqeeeze in there. Still working under the dash to find what goes where. I think it might be startable today.....

[loudest03cavi]
