Re: sub frame

that engine mount is pretty important! im not sure which one you would use tho, i would guess if you use the manual subframe, then you need the manual motor mount, since it bolts up differently to the frame. i doubt the auto mount would work with manual subframe.

Re: sub frame

I wonder what this guy is talking about..

these are the parts anyone you says different does not know ****
1.)everything listed above -ECU (PM me to find out how to make your ECU work)
2.)master/slave cyl.
3.)clutch/ flywheel
4.)shifer cables (buy new)
5.)axles(yep they are different)
6.)tranny side mount, and front engine mount
7.)new subframe, our have someone move the front mount bracket 1 1/8 inch to the right if you are facing the car
8.) manual tranny starter
9.) misc. nuts and bolts
10.) new guage cluster or paint old one
11.) A LOT OF BEER
*** I would also recomend a helms manual (not just recomend it is the most important thing you could buy) and alot of borrowed tools from autozone

If you have any questions PM me

Re: sub frame

i think he means cut and reweld the mounting bracket (for motor mount) on the old frame, or swap in the new frame.
