junk yard swaps can be tricky... you are going to need to get engine, tranny, axles, wiring, ecu, etc... best way is to buy the fron clip if they have it.

Uh, here, a GSR engine's going to run you about $3,000. Don't know about California babyface. Sorry.

Too bad he's not a chic though. I bet he could get it for much much cheaper then.
