Re: If you did that, just make the car a 2.8 NA, transfer over the wiring harness and all associated
Thanks Carson-
I'm gonna wave off this one. I was hoping for a simple R&R

Question - why not rebuild the engine in the 2.7T and put it back in its own body?
Honestly, that's the simplest way to go. Doing a conversion like the one you're asking about is a LOT of work with lots of pitfalls. Not that it can't be done, but the problems multiply like crazy.

That is an option, but I have not yet purchased the 2.7T. I will look next at what is wrong with it and decide whether it is worth rebuilding.
