I've been told that I need to go ahead and get my parts list together to do a KL swap. I have financial backing now (feels.....weird.....) and I have my dead P5.
I've scoured the board all day looking at everyone's lists of parts, pieces, and misc crap that it takes to make this swap happen. It seems everyone has a different way of doing this though - and my question lingers yet: What do I need in the form of MAS/MAF, ECU, wiring harness, engine bay harness, rad, A/C (gotta have A/C here in TX....), and whatnot. I've got a line on a KLDE and auto trans from here in TX, shipped to my doorstep for 750 total. After that - I'll be taking everything over to a friend's house to start the carnage. Would any of you KL fellers be so kind as to show me what it took, parts-wise, to complete your installation, and kinda round-about what the total cost was? I'm not looking to make it fast - I want reliable. I can do fast later on - thus why I'm going with a KLDE right now - it'll take boost a little better later on.
I will be starting on it Friday, Sept. 2nd and be working on it every day through until I return to work on Sept. 11th. That "should" be enough time to at least get it swapped, running, and everything misc taken care of if I'm not mistaken.
As far as the old motor/tranny (auto) - I'll be scrapping the pair of them, unless someone on here needs an auto tranny and some misc parts that may be good on my old FSDE (head, covers, etc).
