ok im jus gonna ask some final questions before the swap in the next couple of weeks.

1. will the clutch in my 93 5 speed work with a 85 svo motor?
2. fly wheel? keep my current one or use a TC one?
3 will my stock 7.5 rear end hold up to the 2.3t svo motor or will i need a 8.8?
4. im sure my current ecu wont work with the svo motor, which ecu should i go for?
5. BOV, which one should i go for? i hear bailey is a good one.
6. what psi are the stock 85 svo motors runnin, they are 175hp/210 torque so im guessin around 8-9-psi and with a adj. boost vavle i think they can run upwards to 21?

also a estimated price of each would be nice

1. Work? Yes. Suggested? No.
2. Depends on which clutch you use.
3. 7.5" is fine.
4. 87-88 TC unit.
5. Bailey, Forge, or other dual piston unit.
6. 14.5psi stock, can run up to 24 with the right mods to support it.
