Looking back at this thread (now 1 year old), I read that this car had already been the recipient of a roller-motor swap before he bought it the first time.

It would be a shame to remove the stuff that makes this car an SSP.
I am trying not to lite the fuse on this one as I want to hear what the owner is doing with the car. If he wants to swap in the cobra stuff with a different k member and change out the dash I don't agree with that direction. There are far to many stock civie coupes available for that kind of fun. Four eyed SSP cars are getting hard to find. Hate to see this one go down this road. Hopefully the owner will address our concerns when he reads about them.

I have an 86 original 45k body that has already had some work done to it for just this type of swap. It would be perfect. K-member and dash is already out of it also. Original 5 speed car with pedal assembly still intact. I also have a spare original (including plug wires) 84 GT motor, trans, and rear end that could be put in the 84 TXDPS car.
