t2 lower intake manifold is a 4 port vs 6port n/a intake manifold, it won't work..



You need the pedals/tranny/driveshaft/hydralics



and you'll have to have holes drilled for the tranmission mount, since the mounting points are different..

turbo exhaust manifold will bolt up....

The tranny will bolt right up, I dunno if the same bolts will work.. More than likely they will..

I think it's already there. You might just have to punch it out.

the tranny doesn't bolt right up, the mounts are in different places, you have to drill out the tack welds holding the tranny mounts in place on both the automatic and 5 speed then weld the 5 speed mounts into the car being converted over.
