1979 Te38 with an upcoming 20v swap

Post by leWolf »

Hello, this is my te38 that I saved from some tweekers yard for $300. It's got 252,000 miles on it and it's still going even if the trans and axle are howling. Heck even the the ac works now. Sadly enough the engine is finally getting shitty and it is time for a replacement. I will be putting in a 20v silvertop and will be running a blacktop ecu with a COP conversion.

Nice choice on engine. Do you plan on using a water relocation kit or are you doing something different?

I am pondering the idea of pulling my 20V and putting it in my SR5 Sport Coupe... I just cant decide... :(
