proud new owner of a FB!!!yea!!!

well, i have been out of the rotary group since early august of last year, had to sell the TII in my sig to pay for school. but...


I"M BACK!!!!

this time i am rockin a 1985 Gs w/200k miles and a nearly flawless body.

i may put a n/a motor from a fc w/TII rearend. the motor goes up to 10K rpm w/3mm seals.

I am excited. i got the car for about what a cheap c/d player costs.

W00t

only thing is...i don't know anything about carb'ed rotaries. i've had an 88n/a and a 89 TII but never an fb nor w/carb.

is it possible to do a complete swap from the fc to the fb??? will the drivetrain be compatable or is the fb too short?


some advice would be good and much appreciated. i'll need some odd parts too, i.e weatherstripping, short throw shifter...


AHHHH it's good to be back!

I had the motor and trans from an 88 in mine till the trans died. People have swapped the rear end(subframe and all) but is a ****-ton of work.

EDIT: Pics are a must.
