ok i have a 90 gtu and i have been thinking of swapping in a 93 tt motor with ecu and harness. so will the 90 gtu tranny work and has anyone done this swap and how much of a pain in the harness work?

This, as well as many more commonly asked questions can be answered in the FAQ sticky at the top of this forum. In the future, please do a quick search on the subject to see if you can find your answer without starting a new thread. Thanks

 

And since that page is more from a 13BT in a Turbo car too a 13B-REW it lacks one bit of information. Your GTU transmission will probably not be able to handle the torque, same with your rearend, so you'll also need to swap the starter, transmission, full driveline, amoung other misc things. Pretty much a full TII swap minus the motor, then what you need to properly run the REW.

 

ok sorry about that did the search and got a lot of nothing but overlooked the faq section


so it looks like i'll stick with a 90 tII motor tranny ect or the ls1 and 6 speed i happen to have on hand...lol

 

^ the 90 TII motor/tranny will definitely be the easiest of the 3 routes...

just thought i would thow that in...

 

Those are 13B-RE mounts. That is not to be confused with the 13B-REW engine of the 93+ Rx-7. I am not aware of anyplace that sells pre-fabbed mounts for the -REW swap into an FC. Honetly, If I were you I would go with your LS1/T56 combo. With the parts available from a few different sources, the swap is cake and makes for a silly fast car. Check out these links:

YOU OBVIOUSLY have not done either.

 

well considering that both the REW and the LS1 need custom fabbing for the engine and drivetrain(LS1) I would agree that the 13BT IS the easiest way to go as far as labor goes.....since he has the LS1 and tranny,it might be more costs effective since he won't have to spend $$ on the 13BT and Drivetrain.

 

the fab work isn't what bothers me i have everything here to do that hell i could even make my own mounts i just don't have any time to.so i am looking for more for a "plug and play" swap also the price of it means nothing to me... i am more in it to have some fun and torment friends with mustangs...lol

 

well plug and play means a FC engine, not some piston engine or a REW.

The next closest to a FC engine, would be a cosmo RE engine.

Either way this thread is done and has been covered countless times.
