Going from an FC to an FB

Going from an FC to an FB
Hey my TII just blew up so I was thinking of getting an FB. I was wondering if there were parts from my 87 FC that I could put in the FB.
Like I know I saw one with the TII seats and then in the FAQ there was the alternator I believe. Anything else? Basically what should I keep around?

Keep the alternator, and the leading coil. Search 2GCDFIS, I have done it, and really like it.
Alot of things swap, the transmission, brakes, if you buy a Respeed style brake conversion kit... The T2 trans is a popular upgrade as it is much stronger...
The main fuse box, as the FB has fusible links...
The front and rear suspension have been swapped, but that requires a large amount of fabrication. Im sure there is more that I am forgetting as well...

Sorry, I figured there would be a sticky for it.

Hey, another MN guy posting in here, nice to see you're thinking of going FB! I'd be willing to take that TII motor off your hands, just saying. If it needs a home I have space and cash.
Anyyyways, this is an awesome car and would be worth about 3k easily
1984 GSL with Mesh rims
Here's another one in that ballpark, worth asking price I think
81 RX7 with 48K
Not a bad car for the money. With an extra set of rims, some RB parts, it isn't bad in my book. I would say that it is a decent enough car for the cash.
I'll be checking on this thread for your progress, good luck with your search and keep us updated!

Overpriced for that shitty looking body. I picked up my 83 gsl for 2100, and the paint was a mile better. Can't see in the engine hardly due to the light, although it looks alright from what you can make out. Mileage isn't posted, and I would guess it has been in a serious accident with half of it that other paint color.
It is worth calling and taking a look at I guess, but I wouldn't buy it unless I was planing to repaint it.

Thanks guys for the input. I actually am considering this one now.
http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/ra...043840738.html
But I cant tell what model it is. Do yall think it has the LSD in it? What should the rotors put out on a piston compression tester? Like 90+?(with 3 even hits)

Yeah I saw those, And if I wasn't dropping 6k on a Yamaha R1 they would be on my to get list.
And we can talk about the engine deal in some PM's maybe.

it doesn't have a rear wiper, which means its not a GSL.
so that would make it a GS, although its wearing an 81-83 front airdam/apron, a really bad paint job, and the pictures aren't very good, so i'd show up thinking its a GS, and you've got a 10% chance its a GSL and an 80% chance its a POS
