hey Rgonza, Since your install of the 20b, Do you have any regrets, and what's been your biggest complaint about this install. I'am very close to going the same route as you have, but I just want to make sure I know all the ups and downs of this 20b install.. Any help would be appreciated. I will be talking with the guys from A-spec probably this week...

If you do a transmission swap, won't you have to basically redesign and fabricate a new powerplant frame?

Hi , GreddyTurbo1

There's no much cons basicaly the major con is the price tag of the installation and the custom parts and the gas comsuption when you hit the gas pedal to the froor there's around 13 to 15 mpg , the ups, the power that you can enjoy with pump gas, no mods to the tranny and the entire drive train is you run up to 500 rwhp. when you consider to start make the swap make contact with us we can assist you during the swap.

Hi, BaronVonBigmeat

I belive that's no much mods envolved, the major mod are the bar across the the tranny and the diff. and the bellhousing and starter this tranny have identical bell housing to shift **** measure.

Hi, Greddyturbo1,

There's no problems with the steering the only mods is add 5" to the steering shaft, for a subframe mods is better look for your local suspenssion shop they can make this mods with minor effort, the only mods is only relocate the steering rack& pinion to the front for 20b oil pan clearance. for the motor mounts we have a guy that can make it for you at rasonable cost. we can send to you pics about this mods.

Regards
Rgonza
