Its a pretty straight forward swap, especially if you use the TII transmission.

So different mounts and it will bolt on? Even tho I i'd be using a 3rd gen engine, tranny, ECU, and wiring harness in a 2nd gen body?

Using the 3rd gen tranny requires a custom transmission mount. I dont sell that mount, and I recommend using a TII tranny anyways.



This is no Honda, you can expect to need custom oil cooler lines, radiator hoses, and plumbing for the intake, exhaust, and intercooler and a fair amount of wiring work. Its an involved process, not something you just slap together in an afternoon.
