My new car 1984 GSL-SE

Hey guys i'm new to first gens but I picked this one up for pretty cheap. Free!

I have a 2nd gen 13B NA I would like to put into it and I've done some searches on the swap but haven't found someone who actually made a write up for it. So this thread is first to show you my new car and second if anyone has the link for a write up on a s4 13b NA into a GSL-SE plese let me know!

Look for Steve84GS's posts. He has an S5 TII swap, 300 hp, and passes Cali emissions. The basic procedures will be the same, minus the turbo and modding the front cover for the S5 mop.

There is a write up in the archives, iirc, for the TII swap. Since you are going S4 NA, the swap is fairly stright forward.

Cool, welcome to this forum. Look like a good project. I think there is a writeup in the archives, not totally sure. Does it run? How many miles? Looks like it has a pretty good interior. Congrats. God bless

EDIT: you beat me^ lol

178k miles, said it ran when he parked it but the battery is dead once it stops raining i'm going to pull the battery out of my FC and see if it will crank over. Apparently it smokes very bad due to a bad oil seal of some kind but i can't verify that yet. I'll check the archives once again. thanks

Red widebody isn't it? Think I talked to him at seven stock. He's kind of my inspiration for wanting a first gen. lol
