iluvdrt Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 well, a spit of good luck happened upon me today, as i was offered another free suby. it is a 86 gl sedan with f/i, 2wd, auto. it runs perfect and aside from being "ugly" as the guy said there is nothing wrong with it. he just doesnt need it anymore. my question is, is how hard would it be to put this engine into my 85 wagon d/r 5 spd? i know the engine will bolt to the trans, but what about the wireing for the engine, and ecu? is that a real hard deal, or something that will take a weekend, and some beers? thanks.

GLCraig Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 It depends on if you want to keep the engine fuel injected or not. If you do, well then your have a fair bit of wiring to deal with. If you're willing to keep the carburetor and distributor from your 85 then all you need to do is swap the long block and toss out the AIS since SPFI heads do not accommodate the AIS.
