I take it your swapping a turbo-charged engine into non-turbo car? What were the gotchas in doing this, are there any? Or is it pretty much drop-in deal, no real changes needed?

Thanks,

Don, neither of the cars is Turbo'd. The reason for the swap was the blowby on Josephine's old engine was excessive (IMHO). Fatmobile will be getting a new home & owner later this year.
