make sure the C20XE comes with the alternator and starter motor assembly and the exhaust manifold, you will ned a way of connecting the exhaust manifold to the rest of the exhaust system.
You'll also need either an ecotec pipe and adaptor plate or a powercap for the inlet as well
Where did you get your 3 hole spacer from?

when i bought the mounts the 3 hole spacer was already welded to it,
so is all i need is the powercap??? or will i need the adaptor plate for the powercap ???

READ THE TUTORIAL
I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.
