i think the 13b-re with an 89-91 turbo would be easiest

Easy isn't everything to me.I know this welder who lives across the road who could build and weld the mounts for me if I went 20B.He has 20 years welding expereance.

I would mount the T2 tranny and engine as one unit then fab the mounts and weld it to where it sits with the tranny bolted up.Easiest way.I don't really care about relocating the rad forward more.I know I need a huge IC and dual oil coolers.I wonder if the twins would clear the chassis?

Looks like a T2 engine can't take 500hp without some internal work so I'll be doing either a RE or 20B-REW swap.MMMmmmmm torque.

I think to get 500hp from a turbo II you would have to port and run some atkins two piece seals, or ceramic, but it could be done but if you can afford it and if its technically possible why not the 20B, just because of how rare it is let alone the power and fun of driving it
