Well, found me a conquest here in Wichita to start my engine swap! Its an 86 widebody, black, no major rust what so ever (just small spots of surface rust on a couple chipped paint areas). Now I just gotta sell my 3000GT before I can afford to build the engine!

pretty sure you can but you'd be better off getting a U.S. spec one. It flows better and you can make some $$ off some misguilded soul that just assumes something is better because its JDM

I thought the cylcone had variable length runners, thus allowing for a bit wider power band? Either way, I'm sure I'll have a lot to sell.

its a little better for low and mid end, but flow is horrible up top, where you d want it most for a turbo application.

Ah, okay, didn't know that! Thanks for the heads up!

I ended up going ahead with the Forrester Racing Heads manifold. It is designed so you can just flip the plenum around, and in the mid 300hp's, dynos at 35-40hp with a 16g. Up next, 264 cams!
