      What are you talking about? The wire harness swap is a matter of dropping in the harness and providing power to like four wires. The auto isnt gonna be any more wiring since our autos are not electronically controlled, its the same swap as a manual as far as electronics goes.

      But yeah, definitely a good time to change the fluid and filter in the trans. Make sure you pull the converter and drain it while the trans is out. Add a nice big trans cooler since you will be pulling up hills and stuff.

        Either swap will make for an enjoyable ride.

        When I built mine, I wanted NA power... If I'd redo it, I'd go for the B6T though (or maybe BPT)...

          Well it looks like I'm throwing in the b6t, got ahold of one. Hopefully I get it in before december.

            Next year we should line em up at the track. Auto B6T might put a whoopin on fester, maybe.

              I'm down to meet up. Heck maybe ride down with me when we do the swap? I'm starting to get really nervous now that it is almost offically happening though. I'm afraid it isn't going to work right or something. I hate not having knowledge.
