Going Beta

[ereeves116]

So for a very long time I was debating about whether or not I want to do a beta swap or not and I decided that if something miraculous happened and I somehow got the money or the parts I would do it...

Well, this weekend a junkyard by me is having a huge sale on engines and trannys. So i'm going to go and see what they have and what condition it is in.

While I'm there I want to check prices on other things so I'm wondering if I could get a list form someone who has done a Beta swap of what I need. So far I've got engine, tranny, clutch, ecm?....and i read something about getting 2 different axles to fit in the tranny better....

From reading that there isnt alot of work there...

Basically just bolt in motor, tranny, rewire and your good to go or am i missing the bigger pic??

How long should it take to complete a betaswap from start to finish...




Cheers

i'm going to buy the stuff this weekend and let it collect dust in the garage until summer starts. But i think if i work on it pretty much every day i can get it done in about 3 weeks? i'll be having friend's help me out too so it should go a bit faster.
