Use the entire intake from the 97 on the 99. All the sensor plugs on the engine are the same. If you find differences then swap the sensor. They are essentially the exact same car. You don't have to pull any drivelines if you dolly it. GD

They are the same and both are Phase I with the exception of the block case halves themselves on the 99. The only difference for you will be the 8 bolt vs. 4 bolt bell housing. Not an issue you will just leave out the 4 extra bolts that are not used with the 97 transmission. You will also want to use the 99's intake manifold which is a direct swap. GD

Found the module you spoke of, has 2 make pins coming off black unit...was only $11 us dollars, picked it up just to be safe n have a extra handy...don't think much was done to the car,work wise,all original from what I'm seeing, even the dead pack rats in the air vent...I,ll check O2 sensor n temp coolant sensor if has it n see what happens...thank u all so much...

Its a great engine but your 85 wagon would have had the EA82 engine.

Virtually nothing. Strike 1: Very high mileage Strike 2: Rust in the wheel wells and tailgate areas. Strike 3: 2WD Enjoy it for what it is, but those come up fairly often here in the West and it's hard to even give them away. If it were a Brat (they were all 4WD) or a 4WD hatch, and especially if it were low mileage/good condition..... even then they are a hard sell. My old Brat went to the east coast and had a lot of upgrades and I got $2800 for it. A high mileage 2WD wagon..... well 10 years ago I would have called that a parts car that moves itself around the yard....... honestly things haven't changed all that much except people might pay more for the parts now. A 2WD wagon is about the lowest value and least desirable EA81 out there. GD
