FWD motor into AWD car

[dsmRemy]

I searched but couldnt find a clear answer.

Im lookin at a 6bolt motor from a FWD car (91) and it will be going into the place of a 7bolt AWD (93).

Will it just drop in or will i need differant motor mounts? I know ill need a 6bolt AWD flywheel, anything else?

It should drop right in. because you are using the same gen models so i don't see why it wouldn't fit right in. You can use either tranny i believe. If you have awd it will stay an awd car. No matter if that motor is fwd u still have the tranny and transaxles for the awd so no problem there.

no if he wants it to be AWD he has to use the awd trans.
the engines are all the same as far as bolting up to a trans. theres no FWD engine and AWD engine. once the trans comes off, its just an engine.

correct, any 4g63 can be bolted into a fwd or awd tranny.

I actually have a 6 bolt from a 91 Talon TSi AWD, just make sure you swap the flywheels. The two flywheels between the engines are different

I also have a 91 engine in my 93 tsi awd

Thanks guys, i was pretty sure, but i wanted to be for sure for sure before i did it. Someone said the engine mounds were a little differant on the FWD and AWD cars. Tranny is staying, just the motor being swaped, so i guess all i need is the AWD flywheel.
