Welcome to the boards finally! And yes spring is officially here. Has anyone told mother nature yet? I think she forgot.

It's sspring like here, but I wouldn't even dream of driving the cabby on the streets of this town yet.

With all the gravel they have been dumping over the winter, it becomes a quick way to get a broken windshield.

Thats an awesome swap! Thats one of the swaps that I wanted to do on my Cabby.
Keep them pics coming!
Oh and you should do a write up of the steps you take and your experiences.

it's not actually me doing the work on this project... I'm not savvy enough for a job of this magnitude so i've called in a professional. what I can give you a write up on is the way it runs and drives.. i'll give you a full report when it's done

looking good so far. i bet it'll run NICE when it's done!
i've always thought of doing this swap and then putting a neuspeed supercharger on it. would prolly be fun.

sweet! is the motor stock or are there mods?

RydnShotgun · Post by **RydnShotgun** » Sun Mar 26, 2006 12:23 pm

it's mostly stock besides the TT lightened flywheel. I'm also running a 16v tranny with a sachs clutch. other than that she's a clean slate. I plan on doing a cam and chip very soon.
