Dont bother. Too expensive and too complicating to get running properly.

And no its not a straight fit. Modifying the sump and or K frame is required. But.... It has been done.

The new body he is building at the moment also uses BA suspension, AU diff so he can use BA wheels on it. The priciple is the same turbo or NA....
