92 1gb 7bolt into a 1g 92 6bolt car? Questions

[lasershark]

Hello found a good deal on a 1gb 7bolt motor I cant seem to find a lot of information on this.

Will my tranny work fine? (both engines/cars 5spd awd)
From what I read the electronics are the same as far as sensors. True?

So basically Im wondering is what might or might not work for the swap, was gonna rebuild the 6 bolt but wanted my car to still be drivable.

7 bolt engine from late 1992 car, my car is an early 92

thanks guys

It will swap right over no major changes. Timing belt cover and oil filter housing. Tranny will also connect, but you'll have to change to a 7 bolt flywheel. I have a 93 that had a 1g 7 bolt and I built a 6 bolt and it went right in. Also mine is awd.

^Beat to it.

It's a direct swap if both engines are complete. Obviously, some 6-bolt specific components will not work on the 7-bolt so as long as you aren't "borrowing" too many (or the wrong) components from the 6-bolt, you should have very little trouble.

All electronics are the same.

thats exactly what I needed to know thanks guys one more thing... would my 6bolt alternator and power steering pump work for the 7 bolt

Those are not 6-bolt or 7-bolt specific parts, so they will work fine on either engine.

Ok just so I know, what are the specific parts not to be used? the 7 bolt is complete, head, intake mani, throttle body is all there

Let me add tho, IF your going to ever swap heads from one motor to the other for some reason the 1g7 bolt uses 11mm head studs and the 6 bolt uses 12mm.

thanks for the tip but just doing the whole motor out with one in with the other

Please grap the balancer and check for crankshaft end-play before you put that 7 bolt in there.
