dadiodave Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 I have a 95 legacy with a good 2.2 eng. This car is an automatic. I want to put that motor in a 96 legacy brighton wagon that has a 5 speed. The exhaust ports on the heads are different; 2 hole for 95 engine; 1 hole for the 96. I know the At engine has a pressure valve?? for the Automatic and this is not on the engine that is bad. can I just swap these motors striaght up and move the exhaust Y over to the brighton? Will the ECM in the 96 recognize the 95 engine. Looking for some seasoned advice, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt167 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 What about the egr? 95 auto heads are tapped for it, mt heads are not 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Plug the EGR hole with a bolt. Or just leave all the EGR stuff there for decoration. Block off the vacuum hoses because it won't work anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnceggleston Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 (edited) you do not need to swap the intake manifolds, there is no difference between them. except the 95 will have EGR. but the computer will not be looking for or sending any EGR info so no worries. this also means there is no need to plug the EGR hole in the head. swap away, simple and easy.
