I was thinking of getting a 7mgte swapped into my auto 83 MKII. Do you guys think that having it done for $3900 is worth it? I just hand them the keys and they supply everything else (motor, tranny, turbo, etc.). Comments?
You mean to tell me,I'm going to have problems if I convert my 83 AT car ?MkIISuperSupra said:Hard call to make.
3.900.00 is a good price. How well do you know the people putting the engine in? I wouldn't advise letting anyone you don't know do it. A lot depends on the quality of the 7mgte being installed and on the quality of the workmanship. That said, the 7mgte upgrade is great!!!!!!
I have a 7mgte in one of my 83s (5 speed) and it is awesome. Make sure the people doing the work have done an 83 before. The transplant on an 83 is not the same as an 84 and up car. The electrical wiring is different and so is the fit of the engine and intercooler pipes.
Most important, as I've said, is the quality of the new engine and WHO is doing the install.
Good Luck

3 to 5.00 an hour extra.......I could have gotten by that cheaply??Junkie said:You would have to ask Leslie how bad the beer tab was,but I think we made another $3-5hr from him there :lol:
