No, this is not a 420A to 4363 swap thread.
As a TSi owner, a friend of mine has asked if I want to do an engine swap on his girlfriends car. The car is a 1996 Talon ES, A/T with a blown motor. He has bought a complete engine from a local seller from a 1999(or 1997 he doesn't know) Eclipse equiped with a 5 speed.
My question to you fellows is:
If I switch over the flywheel from the 1996 blown engine to the donor engine to accept the automatic tranny, will everything else bolt up with no hickups?
Is there any wiring / sizing differences between a 1996 420A and a 1997 or 1999 420A that would be of concern in this swap.
Basicly, is this swap feasable and worth my time?
