im about to start my opel project with 4g64 block and 4g63 head, turbocharged,starion trans... i was looking in some of the posts and i noticed some people have or are trying to do this swap, but nothing finished or details, i was wondering if anybody with experience on this could give me some advice to make my swap a bit easier, and cheaper,thanks

I think you will be on your own on this one. Although many have started such a project, I don't believe anyone has completed this swap yet. The engine width and added width of the manifolds seems to be the major fitment issue. It's not insurmountable, but it'll be expensive if you pay someone to do it, and time consuming if you do it yourself.

yeah thats what it seems like, but unemployed, a bit of savings, nothing to do and a really good motivation to get this thing done, nothing is stoping me... what i was thinking is to relocate the exhaust manifold by making a custom one, that way i can put it in a better position and hopefully that will give me more room to work with... anyway i'll see how it goes, i'll post some pix as work progresses..
