Ill have that heater core in the mail first thing in the morning.

Awesome. I'll plug it in and see what happens.

Haha, good times... I've never driven Zippy before though (hint hint...)

Cool. I'll probably be needing that before the swap is done, as well as whatever else is destroyed along the way... :lol:

Who needs heat anywayz!! But seriously the friggen bellhousing will not clear the flywheel by like 1mil I'll take pics 2morrow. Is the b6 flywheel bigger?? I would think not... it's so frustrating to get this far and have a little hangup like this

You should be using the B3 flywheel.

I just looped together those extra vacume hoses off the intake mani for the vacume advance, the hose comes off one output (on the top of TB), under the TB, and into the other output (on the bottom of TB), and just used the b3 distributor

I thought the B3 and B6 flywheels were the same. :scratch:

There's so much more to this swap that nobody seems to have mentioned in the N/A Engine Swaps section...

Not only do you need the B3 flywheel, but you need the B3 clutch assembly and the tin plate from the B3 that goes under the flywheel and against the block.
