Well the motor in my sl went bad and I was having a rough time finding another so i was going to go the rebuild path when I went to get the rebuild kit the guy at the store said ( hey I have tt version of the motor if you want it) he had a stealth and rolled it I guess anyways he offered it to me reasonably cheap, now my question is what would I have to do to make this thing work in mine if I bought it, I have zero interest in doing the all wheel drive I just want to see what would be involved in making it work as a front wheel drive and what I would have to do.

You would need things like the ECU and the exhaust.... and all the sensors attached to the motor... i think thats about it

Yeah but the price he wanted is just crazy low, he told me I could even install and not pay untill I hear it start. and I trust ebay about as far as I can throw a boulder, I have bought motors in the past on ebay and well lets just say I will not anymore unless I can hear it run before I get it.

i would also get an lsd for your tranny. it'll help the car hook up better and save your stock tranny from having any disasters. i hope it's a 5 speed by the way. you'll also have to get the vr4 motor mounts and ppl have told me to get the polyurathane ones cuz i'm going to be doing the same project on my car when i save up enough. you also need the intercooler. and along with what sebba said about the exhaust, get a bigger downpipe to help it breath better
