Convert conversion with a TII
I have an 88 convertible and an 88 TII. I want to change over all the TII running gear to the convertible. Is there a difference in the hubs on the convertible and the TII?

So besides the engine stuff I will need to change transmission, driveshaft, rearend and half shafts. I also for starters way just going to use the stock TII struts and springs and sway bars. Was any of this stuff upgraded from the factory because of the added weight of the convert?
Does anybody know a website that has some good info for this conversion?

Hmmm...Why is it neccesary to take out the main harness behind the dash for an 87t2 to convert conversion--does the connector not fit in the ECU?

A couple of small things you won't want to overlook... it would be frustrating to get to them and then have to look for parts.
The TII clutch slave cylinder is different. So is the starter.
Rumor has it that the 'vert ECU is already mapped for turbo- I can't confirm this, but it makes sense, as the 'vert has it's own ecu and everywhere else has a turbo 'vert.
