Being a member of the 4-bolt main conversion club is something to be proud of, I know I am.
Unfortunately its a club that you would rather not be asked to join.
Below is a list of everyone that I know of who has done this conversion:
Brad Bedel:
Craig Hoffman: "Vr4Fan" 91 VR-4
Greg Rush:
Jeff VanOrsdal: "GateChrasher" Stealth ESX to turbo hybrid!!!
John Monnin: 1991 VR-4
Joe Gonsowski: Stealth TT Still in process
Ken Middaugh: Comming in 2002!
Tim3kgt: Still a pile of parts and a dream!
Ray Reisenauer: "FYRBALL MT" Finished 6/5/02
Chris Wood: "Multiades"
People who I think joined the club but I still need to verify!
William J. Crabtree
Matt Jannusch
Honorable Mention goes to Greg McIntyre "gregmc" on 3si.
He put a entire 2 bolt(first gen) long block into a 2nd Gen car.
He documented how to re-wire the CAS from the heads to the front of the crank.
His car is a N/A but the information should also apply to a Turbo car.
See his Website for Details!
