    Well it cost $400 for the conversion kit, in that you get engine mounts to bolt up to the engine cross member and the gearbox cross member to bolt up to the ca18 gearbox.

    you need

    engine and box mounts

    custom tailshaft (CA box yoke on to the front half of an 86 shaft)

    loom, CA loom can be modded to suit

    exhaust

    fuel system, i would want an intank pump and a surge with external pump. or at LEAST a JDM tank (baffled) and an upgraded intank pump.

    front mount and piping.

    i have previously been advised to use an oil cooler with a CA as they are very sensitive to oil temp and quality.

    head gaskets have known to be a common failure.

    best to upgrade radiator as well.

    keep your support systems healthy, these engines aren't as a thrashable as 4A's

    pm or email Anthony at Kaizen slydar (Dimitri) doesn't work there anymore. Anthony is a busy man so bear with him he will get back to you.

    yeah gilly on the ball but the problem with the ca's is the age and usually the coils start to go. easy fix though with the coils.
