nah, you'll just have to cap off the hose barbs. One on the lower part of the radiator and the other under the oil filter on the engine.

I'm just thinking it might get in the way, but setzep you have a large NPR right? And you have no clearance issues with the rad/cooler/oil cooler? And you are running the 12a radiator?

Nope, I have a custom one made for a 1st gen. Radiator is from a 84 gsl-se.



Wow, 16 bucks is a little steep.

The only hardware store that had one...



I still have two issue before putting the motor in that I forgot about...that little "plate" I seem to be missing for the transmission, and a starter.



Ideas?

plate doesnt really matter, you can put it on later.



i think you may be able to reuse the fb starter, if not you need a t2 one, again its a 15minute job to swap it

The 12a doesn't fit, much to my dismay...I've heard it's expensive to get one from an auto parts store, but of course I haven't called.

I think the TII starter is the same as the non-turbo automatic starter, if that helps.

New they are pricey but you may be able to scrounge one from a junkyard.
