are all EJ series engines share the same bell housing


Recommended Posts

There are minor differences over the years in the bellhousing, 90-98 are phase 1 4 bolt bellhousing and 99+ are phase 2 8 bolt. There two phases are interchangeable for manual transmission, but not automatic. If you have access to the transmission code a quick google sear have should give you the final drive ratio, you can also post it here as some of the members are handy at reading them.

They are all interchangable.

 

In fact Automatics are easier since the lower starter bolt is a stud in the trans case......not one of the through bolts.

 

Manuals the lower starter bolt is one of the 8 bolts in the 8 bolt housing........But one can install a threaded insert into the Trans bell, and use it for a stud for the lower starter bolt (8 bolt trans w/4 bolt engine)
