Has anyone done an engine swap with one of the better models of the 2.6L found in the 1980? Like one of those turboed engines?
Be nice to have something without jet valves and balance shafts. Rear end should be okay; they are pretty tough, although I did blow one once due to incorrect setup on a new gear set.

What setup is "easy" to install and hold up under the increased power? I hear our 5-speed is made of butter and eggshells.
