not really what are looking for (well, maybe it is) saw a guy who swapped a 93-96 interior (complete) into a 70.5 rs... cost him about 20k he said.

I've heard all you have to do is mount the seat tracks out of your 2nd gen onto the 4th gen seat. But it takes some modification to the tracks. Thats what I've heard cause I'm considering the same swap myself. Along with alot of interior fiberglass work.

thats pretty much if for the late 2nd gens... alittle modding to the old tracks... early 2nd gens are a bitch...

u can not have the power on the driver side with u want just pop them in with out modding the floor pan... its dead weight anyways, ur going to use it once to get ur self set then thats it u probabaly won't touch it again... i just took mine out and sold it on ebay.

gear drives in general are pretty loud, u can get quite ones... but mine yes its CNCd so its extreamly loud, lots of ppl mistake it for a blower... im going to be taking some video of my car soon, so you can get a look see at what it looks and sounds like.

geardrives have there problems though, the transmit harmonics from the shaft to the cam... double roller really are the way to go for a simple performance street car... if you want to go hardcore with valve train stuff u wanna get a belt drive but there like 700 bucks. ya right haha i mainly got mine for a bit of sharper timing and the Noise

My cam is HUGE its waaay to big for my current setup.. i have Decktop Dynoed my car never the real thing, as im pulling out my motor this winter... and i dynoed at 330rwhp... which seems right but my gearing and tranny are very weak so its hard to say exactly...

the specs on my cam are.

Intake @ cam 320 @Valve 485
Exhaust @ cam 335 @Valve 512


I need at least some Victor Jr heads.... but im getting an LT1 this winter... so i dunno. If i put those heads on and some higher CR im well into the 400 mark
