Not much more info to give. You'll need custom axles, either the full Delta wiring harness or custom spliced harness and ECU or a standalone, and full custom mounts. If using the 6 speed you'll need to adapt the 6 speed's shifter. Aside from that it physically fits pretty easily it's the wiring headache and extra 158 pounds over the front axle that keep it from being popular.

Ya that sounds like what HP had become when it went downhill.

I remember the thread, he was being laughed at because he was a cocky SOB.

He said he was going to be the first person to do it, that's false. He basically wanted to be an instant legend by dropping off his car at a shop and giving them thousands of dollars. He didn't even know that much about the swap process, so his post was more or less an attempt at fame with no benefit to the community.

true....but im sure he was just a dumb kid. remember he had damage done to his car and the shop he took it to had a totaled V^ Tib so he decided to see if they could do it. yeah he wanted to be the first but everyone already told him that he wasnt...although he prolly would have been the first to have it finished and then posted pics on HP....either way its a shame...i would have liked to see that done and finished.
