I've got a sweet N/A 13B with the 5-speed tranny still attached. I got it from a wrecked (just a crushed pasenger side door) '88 SE 2nd Gen. I'm trying to sell this engine w/ the tranny to help pay for a rebuilt Turbo2 13B to put in my 1990 GXL. If I am not succesfull in selling the '88 13B, how hard would it be to drop it in my 1990 GXL (Which I believe has some bad seals or something going on, possibly overheated, burns oil and dies 60 seconds after I start it up and let it run, plus the tanks 3/4 full of 2-year old gas, but that's a whole other story) and could I just use the GXL's intake and exhaust manifolds and everything and just swap the bad engine for the good? I noticed the difference in the shape of the '88's intake and the '90's intake. I figured I could probably just swap them out, What's your suggestions/ideas/anythings on this? Thanks!

You don't want the 88 in your 90. Only do it if it comes down to it.

You would have to swap the front cover too, for the electic OMP. But just use your old manifolds, throttle body, etc...

But like he said...I wouldnt really do it. If you cant get a rebuilt 13BT, just get a used one for $800.

I believe the ECU/harness is different as well. I think this was the high/low impediance injectors. I think you'd be better off finding the S5

just both engines, and tyhe 90 and get a T2

Well, anybody want to buy a '80 N/A 13B rebuilt recently by Rotary Performance? And the 5-speed tranny?

How many miles, what price, and didn't you say it was an 88 earlier?

Slap the turbo on the 88, use the top intake from TII and the bottom intake from 88 (If 6port). Attach everything else and you are done. you can even use the intercooler. Use the TII injectors also. No big deal...
