VR6

[calimus at techography.net (Calimus)]

I haven't done one, but some things come to mind.

You already mentioned mounts, so check that.

Add to the list:

1. heavier front crossmember
2. cutting drivers fender-well for VR trannie clearence
3. Custom springs to deal with the weight
4. megasquirt/tech2-3/or other stand alone.  Could prollie use stock VR fuel
management, but it might be a pain since you won't have all the damn sensors
for things like air-bags, ABS, ect.
5. conversion to cable shift = a new hole in the firewall
6. beefy sway bars - unless you just want to go straight

Thats all the "top of my head" stuff I can think of.  I might be wrong on a
few of those.  As I said, I've never built one, but those are just things
that I can think would need/want to be done to handle it.  I know I've left
out a bunch and other will chime in with better detail.

just curious,  how hard would it be to do a vr6 swap to my 16v??  now i
don't want anyone to b***h about how much a vr weighs, etc..  i know custom
mounts, but some have done it.  So, what does it take?(evil thoughts:))
