this past summer i visited Kilo Racing in orlando to see his old 20b drag car,which i must say is freekin awsome....kilo was kinda enough to show me under the hood & even start the 20b peri beast up,which was farking cool....i mounted my motor further into the fire wall than kilo's car because i wanted the best weigh transfer since i'll be running all the weight of a turbo system.....the front cover of my motor is mounted 1" back from where the old 13bt front cover was, so that means i must have moved the 20b about 9-10"" back.....this involved a new tubular crossmember for the lower control arms & another one for the motor,new custom oil pan,mechanical OMP with a BMX bicycle brake cable controling it from the throttlebody......i'm using custom motor mounts & and GM tranny mounts with a new cross member for that too...i've shortened the t2 output shaft (respline) 7" inorder for my tail shaft (shifter) to be moved up....so i have a perfectly balance car with 1/4 of my motor under my dash and my shifter 2" back from the stock location....now my twins wont fit cuz the motor is mounted so far back into the firewall, so i'll be running a T-78 or T-88 with a cuztom manifold......if i run a haltech E11 then i'll switch to electronic OMP......this is not a CHEAP,SHORT term project,i plan to spend about $40k on the car at the time of completion....i'm gonna run a 9" IRS from dutchman motorsports with 12" wide HRE 18's out back....with the IRS i should run 9.90's-10.20's with slicks and with a solid axle with 12" wide slicks and ladder bars i should see 7.90's-8.20's.....BTW this is WILL be a street car

Wow, that's cool. Why not start a thread in the 20B section detailing your progress like I have? One thing though, you've got to update it often.

yah the 1st gen is light, and a 13bt could be scary in pretty mild form (300rwhp)

buying the motor is the cheapest part for the project....i think it'll be cheaper to build a 20b 2ndgen that it is to build a 1st gen....with a 1st gen every factory part have to be upgraded....u could build a sick 13b with big turbo & heaps usable power for 1/2 of what a basic 20b would cost u....have u ever driven in a 1st gen with t2 swap??? its sick
