Sooooo.............WHAT you have no idea where to start!!!! and you have a ca18 ready to go......please!! give me a break,

your lucky to even have a motor im still trying to find mine, motor that is hehe lol, Try MADDAT.COM for starters
have fun

this would be the first question everyone asks and this is usually the first answer. try the tech section and the search button as there is heaps of info.

and welcome to the club

If you have the engine, order a MAddat crossmember. At least then you know everything will fit. You can massage the tunnel with a hammer or cut it out and weld a maddat tunnel into place.

Basically you can buy everything needed for the CA transplant nowdays. But if you can fabricate your own stuff it's heaps cheaper.

And if your on the east coast. Kev Rowley is the guro for wire up of the CA with the standard ecu.

Check out the tech section for possible brake and suspension upgrades.
