You are going to have a lot of fabricating work to do.
No one besides that guy is going to be of much help. He's the only one who's done the swap. Good luck and post pics

Wow.... that sounds pretty sweet. It will be tough and it will require custom mounts.

However, I have an idea for you to make a little money (trust me, you'll need it with this project). When you fabricate the mounts, make a whole bunch of sets and you could sell them to people on this board. Many 3g owners dream of an H22 under their hood.

The other guy that did the swap spent like 6k on it. Plus all the other stuff you want to do is going to cost another few grand. The best advice i could give you would be to focus on one thing at a time and complete it before moving on. I would also start on what the area that is in the worst condition, if the motor is ok then start with some of the smaller ideas you have to help you get more fimilar with the car. That just my opinion.
