2g awd motor in 2g fwd car?

[kevbojunior]

i searched and could not find the answer i am looking for so maybe someone could answer nice and easy. I am looking to buy 2g awd motor for my 2g 99 fwd car. what needs to be done to do so or does it just bolt in?

The flywheels are different, but that's all I can think of.

You will have to use your FWD flywheel, but the motor mounts are the same.

If the motor you bought is a 97 98 or 99 ,you only have to change the flywheel and block plate.If it is a 95 or 96,you also need to use your intake cam and cam angle sensor.

We need to know the year of the donor motor to accurately answer this question. But yes, it is doable.

 

[kevbojunior]

it is a 96 awd motor.

Well what else do you want to know? WTF These guys are asking you questions you need to ans and have given you the answers that you seek. YES a 2g 4g63 motor from an AWD drive motor can bolt in to a 2gfwd car but you need to chg the flywheel and let us know what yr car the motor came out of and is going into.

the year only matter when swapping ecu, change the flywheel and starter shield on the block and it is ready to go in, I have swap 7-9 7 bolt in different years 95-99 2g in fwd and awd and probably 25 -30 6 bolt swaps in 2g

Apparently,YOU have a problem reading. Maybe you should read this post again:

You need to follow your own advice!!

 

[kevbojunior]

you still are not reading. you said to let us know what year car it came off of and in a short reply before you came into this thread i stated it was a 96. please think before you type. thanks to everyone else that helped.

A 96 awd motor going into a 99 fwd car will need the flywheel swapped and you will either need to swap the intake cam from the 2 engines or the head. You will also want to pull the cam sensor off the 99 and install it on the 96 engine. That should be all you need to do.

thank you for replying. well the head is fully built with valve train upgrades and bc 272 cams. will those cams make a difference if you know what i mean. and im assuming that i will need the 99 fwd flywheel.
