1g changing from a 7bolt to 6bolt need advice...

[talonkid93]

Hello I have a 93 talon tsi awd with a 7bolt motor in it. I want to swap in a 6bolt motor and was wondering if it will be difficult and if theres anything ill need. will the motor mounts i have in there now be good for the 6bolt. Also will i have to change to flywheel since im going to a 6bolt from a 7bolt? if anyone has had some experience here with this same swap on this same car can you please tell me exaclty what i will need to be prepared for since i have never done a motor swap before?

Motor mount is the same.

The flywheel differences are only from FWD to AWD.

What flywheel difference is only FWD or AWD??? What about 6 holes or 7 holes on the flywheel??? Or did I miss something?

Sorry about that, tried to post too fast. The server was pretty slow there for a few days. Too many damn DSMers!

Yes, the flywheel will need a change. I was meaning the AWD and FWD flywheels are different, but yes the 6 and 7 bolt flywheels are obviously different too.

thank you for the information. It seems like i shouldnt have to much trouble then putting the 6bolt motor in.

If you plan to re-use your stock cylinder head, you will need to have the stud holes enlarged in order to fit it onto the 6-bolt bottom end since the 6-bolt uses slightly larger head studs.

To my knowledge these components are also not transferrable: oil pan, oil filter housing, timing belt cover, and timing belt tensioner. Can't think of anything else right now.

Good luck man.

Hes looking at putting an ENTIRE 6 bolt into a 1g chassis so none of that is revelant.

Just trying to help man. I guess I should have interpreted the op's reference to swapping motors = swapping long blocks...
