dubsy Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 will driveshafts ,,, engine mounts ect need adapting? wanna know what im gonna need before i go buying thingsi didnt have to change anything on mine the engine slotted straight in on the original sport engine mounts and uses the same driveshafts you will however need the front and rear loom from the donor car to save any hassle with the wiring and i would also advise upgrading the brakes while your on with the conversion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
