I have decided on a turbo rotary from fc3s.org and I realize that I'm gonna need a TII tranny cause mine is almost gone but other than that I know I need the computer ...

but my question is .....What else do I need ...and is there a web site that details the whole swap....

any help would be appreciated.......

I think what everybody is trying to say, is that doing a TII swap is an expensive and time consuming task. It would be one of those things you want to get right the first time. It would be extremely wise to swap the entire TII tranny, as that is made to handle the extra HP. It would'nt be any fun tearing that ****** apart a month after you finish replacing a broken axle or some ****, and then doing it again, and again. You might not need all the things on OkieRx-7's list, but why not do a good job the first time, instead of possibly spending a great amount of time trying to get things right in the future. If you can't afford it all right now than wait, and piece it together over a year or so, and then do it. Just my advice, but WTF do I know, I have never done a TII swap.

Thank you for saving me the hassle of having to type that. It isn't something that you want to take shortcuts on, unless you got a lot of $$$ to fix your **** ups.

thank you all for your input but one question remains un answered....is there a web site that details the swap?

if not I'm not too worried about it because I know someone in florida who can do a swap in his sleep.



GRACIAS
