Hey all,



I just purchased a 20b engine that I plan on putting into my '85 GSL-SE. I was wondering if anyone here has done this. The engine I bought comes with: transmission (I don't plan on using it), both turbos, intercooler, wireing harness, and ecu, coils, and extras (alternator, ac pump, ect.). I think that the engine is supposed to mate up with my transmission, and that I will need to modify the motor mounts.



Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated.



Thanks,

Larry

Well the tranny will mount up but youll need a new flywheel plus i dont think the tranny from your gsl-se will hold up to the power of a 20b. You will defintly have to make some custom motor mounts for it.
