to swap or not?

a friend of mine was rear ended on the highway and it totaled his capri. the engine and tranny are still good, its a t5 trans and a 5.0 with twin turbo setup. he is scraping his car becuse he got another one. he doesnt want much for it prob $200 abouts. its it worth it? and it has the computer and everything......i would like to but....should I???

i have a friend (dandb64) who could help me with it.


i like this idea

if you've got the entire vehicle that you can use and can afford the time and money and downtime of your truck for the project, I say go for it!
