Help with engine swap.

The swap is a relatively easy deal but there are wiring problems with that. The transmission mounts are different too. The park/neutral switch can be jumped to make it think it is always in neutral and the reverse light needs to be rewired at the connector. Other than needing the clutch slave and master cylinders you will need to put in a pilot shaft bearing.

I did this swap just about a month ago. The transmission shifter mount also sits about an inch further back so you might as well elongate the rear part of the hole in the tunnel. The cruise control plugs are the same, but I haven't gotten mine to work yet. It worked on the doner car so I am still working on it.

So other than the wiring and the clutch parts it is pretty straight forward. I also had to use a different console for the manual. The O/D light keeps blinking while driving but I think I will just unplug the light.

Good luck. Let us know how it goes. You get the five speed either way, but the turbo tranny is stronger, but more expensive to find.
