1G 6bolt swap into 93 awd

[TSiturbo001]

hey guys. ive found a really nice 93 awd tsi auto w/ what appears to be a bad valve. 1 owner car, 44k original miles. im contemplating whether or not to take it for the $2500 they're asking (cause of the bad engine). i have a 6bolt waiting to be worked in my garage along w/ a manual jdm tranny. do you guys think its worth the money? also what is involved in a 6bolt swap in a 1gB car? i cant imagine it being bad at all. just some harnesses and electronics id imagine correct? thanks alot in advance!

Um 93's have 6-bolts... no swap needed

no, all 90s and 91s have 6 bolts. half of 92s have them and 93 and up have 7 bolts.

it's more of just replacing the engine than actually "swapping"

So, are you gunna do a tranny swap too? Since you have that 5 speed just "laying" there.

93's are 7 bolt

thats what i figured, just wanted to know if any specific shit wouldnt work together(i.e. harnesses matching up, cas, mas, blabla)

i guess all i need is 91-94 manual ecu, 93 shift cables, and swap all the electronics from the 93' engine to my 6bolt, correct?
how about the tranny and xfercase working together, will the auto xfer case work with the 91 jdm tranny assuming splines are the same?

yup

i think you also need to swap the rear diff-i've been told that the auto awd rear diff has a different gear ratio than the 5 speed...
