you could do an fc 13b but the 13b rew tt engine would be a better choice

If you're REALLY pushin to do a swap, go 3-rotor or 13B TT...still a hard swap but not NEAR as hard as an LS7
13b tt require lots of time and effort as the 8's engine bay's too small for 13tt. I use 13 turbo (Fc3s) is due to less effort.Pls advice if any sucessful 8 with fc3s 13b turbo.

NO! you are the only one that wants to put 25 year old technology in this car.

if you are going to argue with everyones advice in here, why ask for it? just go do it.

Kent where do you live? Most states in the US do not allow you to swap an engine older than the car that it's going into...legally.

My guess is the guy does not live in the states.

My ride's in malaysia and 2k means 2 thousand ringgit. overhaul with gasket,apex seal change and porting charging at 13,000. engine swap at 15,000. So I gg for the engine swapping anyway with stock turbo I'm fine with it just that I'm worried that after effects of the engine swap.
