For you engine swap lovers...

How hard is it to swap the 3X00 into these "older" berettas? I'm not very familiar with pre-94s. haha. Lovin the car, minus the interior.. Think I still like the 94+ interior more.

It's not hard; you need a special bracket for the front mount, redo some wiring, get parts from other 3x00 Beretta's, etc...

Just do what woody did and cut out the 3x00 upper mount and use that... IIRC its only pre 92's maybe 91's that need that mount... I cant remember what year they changed that.

Wonder why they swapped to a Z spoiler. Looks good on it though. Too bad the front lip is missing. I like it but a car with a blown engine isn't worth $1100.

That's the stock spoiler that came on the Indy's.

I want it but they won't budge much on the price.

well, I have 3 berettas and don't really need another ;). If you want I can look at it for you ron. I go to school near the car. From the pics it looks like its worth about 1k even with the blown engine (if it didn't have all the miles on it..). Also if it really does have a "new" manual and suspension parts..

Do 90' berettas have the top trans mount?

My bad, you're totally right. I was thinking GTU when I stated that, don't ask me why. To my mind the cars are so similar in options, I group them as one (the Indy and GTU). Oops.

Ron even though the car has 230k+ miles on it, it does have a new engine in it. Might still be worth picking up either way, you dont see 5spd yellow indys that often, they are getting harder and harder to come by ;)

Hell, if i didnt have the W32, i would go get this!

for that car, I think you need the J-body 3x00 front mount. A guy on V6Z24 is making them and can be found here
