My car was a cable clutch, had to be upgraded to hydrolic. Then there's the gearbox, raditator, engine mounts, gear linkages and of course the exhaust!
Oh and climate control had to come out as engine won't fit!
Defiantly going to attend more meets when it's finished! Hope
It's finished before trax

Did it cost extra because of the clutch type coversion?
And does the V6 weigh enough to compromise handling? Just curious

Yeah extra for the following, exhaust from manifold to back box, hydraulic clutch conversion and a single piece driveshaft.
Not sure about the engines weight but it is designed for a coupè.
P.S the engine is in the bay!!!! Wiring it in today

Looks to fit fine. A wide custom radiator up from with 2x small cooling fans on the front of it and you'll have loads of space still.
That engine in a SW Si would be perfect combination.

Is that because the SW has slightly more weight at the back to give better distribution?

Nope, just because you wouldnt expect an SW to be fast!

It can be turboed too but I'd probably keep it as is I'm going from 90bhp to 215 which is a big jump
