Pics of blown motor What exactly is involved with installing an Fg motor? I plan on retaining my intake and exhaust manifold as I'm up for a bit of a hit as I have to replace the turbo too (hence why I'm not going the extra mile and using a fully sick Fg intake manifold, but ya get that). I've read bits and pieces of stuff over time but I just need something to point me in the right direction so I can plan. I will be stripping down my other motor and seeing if I can begin a slow build while the Fg motor gets me around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
