okey here goes.
I currently have a '82 with the stock 5MGE that im trying to sell. HOWEVER my friend has informed me that he may be getting rid of his MKIII. In fact hes thinking for junking it. I told that b4 he goes that route to give me the car. =) The body is all jacked up and dented and basically nasty. BUT its got the turbo engine.
What I want to know is this:
Since both cars need some work just in different places, should I just pull the turbo engine out of the MKIII and put it in the '82?
If so how would I go about doing this and what parts if any would I need to purchase since I will have a complete running donar turbo car.
One more thing. the MKIII is an auto so what would I need to put it in my 82 with the 5 speed?
If i chance the fly wheel will the engine bolt up to the stock 5 speed?
IF so will it handle the power of the stock turbo engine?
I know i wrote alot and asked alot of semi random questions but If i get this MKIII for next to nothing then im gonna keep the 82 other wise ill just sell them both.
Any input is great.
