how long has the engine been sitting? Does the engine start over? What is the compression on the engine? Leak down test? I'd be more concerned as you can tell with the engine as the other bits are there and can be sorted.

ok so ive found another cut in way better shape from an import company that will do hot run leakdown test ect ect

So any ways im more worried about a few things that ive been reading with Being over rich and will i need a jet pump killer if im keeping the swap standard also am i better off keeping my 5 speed or doing a dash wire swap at the same time and bring over the e-Shift as well.
