Since I had mine installed, I do not have all the details, but do know that there was some perp work on the engine compartment fiberglass to accommodate the wider motor and the engine placement is critical. I have also heard that the throttle by wire conversion is not the easiest to install.

All said, even with the additional expense, I would do it all over again. Had the car just under a year and have 3500 trouble free miles on it.

If you are going turnkey or roller, talk to Jay at Vintage Motorsports first.
Thank you very much for the info. This is exactly what I was hoping to get.

I am going to send you a PM.
