92 fwd talon to 92 awd laser

[kmarttalon]

I am new here and have a quick question i have done a ton of reading I do know the mounts are different. I have a turbo fwd talon with a built motor runs great and also picked up a 92 awd laser with 210,000 miles on it tired. Got to love craigslist. I want to just swap out the motors I assume everything is the same. Seeing how they are both 4g63's is there anything i need to be aware of during the swap. Hope this is a good first post on these forums. I also forgot both are five speed cars if that makes a difference

If you've got both complete, then it'll be just swapping your parts between the two. Nothing much more to it.

Oh, they're both either manual or auto right? Not one auto, one manual?

Edit: Manual- nope no surprises.

thanks i was really hoping no surprises. This was my first post so i was hoping to not get bashed. And be told to use the search button

I assume that you have read a lot and know at this time that.
You need to switch the Starter Dust Plate, Flywheel, Starter and Axles. (Wright?).

actually from what Ive read and see I have both motors with trans sitting next to each other I am just unbolting the transmissions and moving the motors and looks like everything bolts up except for the front engine mount which I will move. both motors are 6 bolt motors and one of the trans is a fwd and one is awd looks like a pretty simple swap came out alittle easier than i predicted

Change both the front and rear roll stop brackets that bolt to the engine block (use the ones from the AWD). The flywheel and starter plate must be changed to the AWD pieces also.
