After a long term relationship in both Europe & America, my 1989 is too far gone to keep repairing.  The built engine & transmission [size=78%]are going into one of my 1990 TSTEs.  Will not have Insane power but I thnk will easily be one of the quickest TSTEs out there.[/size]

Got it.  I thought you were swapping something else into the car in the pic.  That didn't make much sense to me.  LOL.  How is it with the 3500?  I have a boosted 3400 in my Z24.  3500's weren't really available when I did the swap, and the 3400 was still a huge improvement over the 3.1.
