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. |

And don't forget to place plastic bags over the CV joints and suspend the axles unless you like CV grease smeared all over you...
As for my first drop, the worst part was the heater plumbing with multiple rusted, stubborn fasteners which I seriously believe took more time than anything else. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) As for the "While I'm in There Syndrome", at a minimum on the tranny, I would inspect/replace the throwout arm bushing and retainer. Also make sure the shaft seal isn't leaking. Sounds like a nice engine going in, congrats. |
