12a in my 87?
How well will a 1980 12a from a first gen fit into my 87?
Has anyone done this? And do I need to mod anything?
I have choice of either the 5-speed from the 12a or the one in my car now with bent forks.

Actually, I just covered this about a day ago...Let me see if I can find the thread...
The basic conclusion is that it isn't worth the trouble...

Well the deal is some guy offered me $400 or less on a good running 1980 base model with 40,000 on a rebuilt 12a. I have 2 other 1987 ones but I know one needs a motor and one i think might need a rebuild and at least a tranny.

Besides, that swap is technically illegal anyway. You can't swap in an engine older then the chassis, not like many places outside of People's Republic of Kalifornia really care though.
