I am doing this swap no doubt about it, I am gearing up / doing my homework / gathering my cash up every day. One quesiton an old hot rodding buddy of mine posed last night when I spoke of the cost of the kit from motech (which is bad ass BTW) was if I do not care about factory integration why could I not just drop the engine in with a harness that will support it and fab up a instrument cluster / shifter and call it a day and save quite a bit of $$$? I didnt have an anwser and although I realize some of the features of the vehicle would be lost they may be ones that I dont care about. Any input about this?
