Yea, I know what you mean. I'm happy I have gotten over 30k miles on my bridge.

From what I've read about the REW swap, it shouldn't be too bad at all. A guy in Greece did an RE swap and said that he only had to modify like 2~3 things to get all the factory dials etc working. With an access port you can be "emissions legal" and disable all the engine codes, or do you have actual sniff tests? We just have OBD2 plug in to scan for engine codes.

Here's the guys thread, but it seems like he posted the list of things to modify in a different thread...
