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?

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? ;)
