Bolted right on Tom. We took it out for a spin and so far it works. The ECU is refusing to be coded to the 7 speed tranny. I need the 5 speed that came with the motor, then everything should be fine

Thanks guys

Rudy is the man! Always willing to provide a helping hand. Is he here in NY or he is working remotely?

You would think by now someone would offer a kit.
Same as the guys who invented the piggyback computer overcame that obstacle.

It'll work fine, although you might have some trouble with the power steering and ESP. Here's a guy who did the swap...

Congrats, that's some amazing work. Any reason you didn't go for the V12?
