Ok so I have the opportunity to buy a 1994 440 GLT turbo and m thinking of putting the drivetrain into my 1993 480S (Now ES).
Am I right in thinking that all the components necessary for this conversion are in the 440 or is there some 480 Turbo parts that I would need?
I'm mainly concerned around the radiator side of things as the 440 front end is taller so is the radiator the correct one for a 480 Turbo?
And same goes for the plumbing. Are all the hoses both air and water the same as for a 480 turbo?

There are always ample warnings and there are always subtle signs,
And you would have seen them coming but we gave you too much time.

Re: Turbo Engine conversion
It's all interchangeable.
There's a dirty great big gap behind the grille on 440/60s.
Have a guess where I'm mounting a massive front mount intercooler on my 460?

Hammers can't fix a 480!!!
