I guess its time to start my motor swap from a 1.8 to a mildly built 2.0Lt. Soooo the big question is. Should I just drop the motor and leave in the tranny or drop them as one unit. I don’t want to get the "while I'm in there" syndrome. The only thing I am going to do is clean and paint the engine bay and place my oil cooler.
The motor coming out is just a rebuilt 1.8Lt W/ carbs and my 2.0Lt is a 2056cc with HAM heads, euro E cam, 44 Webbers W/32 vents, CB Performance distributor, stock heat exchangers with a Vintage Speed muffler. |

Like Krusty said... It is pretty easy to take it all. Plus you are painting? Just balance the whole thing and drop it. take the time to freshen up the tranny seals, etc...
My vote is take it all out. probably easier to mate the trans to the engine OUT of the car. I have done it 2 times, recently, and I can't imagine how I would have done it with the trans IN the car. Have fun. |
