The wonderful girlfriend got me a 1978 99 for Christmas! It is a three door that has no motor and has been sitting in Texas for the last 13 years. The paint is shot to hell, but the body is rock solid with only two spots of minor rust. It comes with 2 extra motors and at least one four speed trans with only 60,000 miles. The girlfriend also purchased a beautiful 1983 900 turbo with a blown head gasket for a parts car. I am going to rebuild the '83 motor and mate it with the 4 speed and place that in the 99. I am renting a bay from the mechanic for $50 a month. This is going to be my first ground-up rebuild.
Any tips on how to fit the 900 motor in the 99? Should I keep the 99 ECU or transfer the LH system from the 900 turbo to the 99? Both wiring harness are in great shape.
