Motor Swap

[BWeston]

I pulled my 6-bolt swap out of my 2G FWD last weekend, and now it's going in my 1G AWD. I replaced the flywheel, got the clutch and pressure plate all back on and torqued all the bolts down so that's finished. I know I'm gonna need new motor mounts, but is there anything different from 2g to 1g that wont fit from one to the other? I'd rather not have to drop everything in and find out that something doesn't fit. I've witnessed that firsthand and it wasn't pretty, . Many thanks for any answers you guys can give me.

anybody?

I must be missing something, but you're saying you're removing what must be a previously swapped 6 bolt engine from your 2G FWD and putting it in your 1G AWD. Is that correct? The 6 bolt engine was only available in the 90-92.5 1Gs, so you shouldn't have any issues.

I'm guessing you have the correct transmission, coil pack, proper ECU, and such already?

Six bolts where available in the first part of 92 as well

are the coil packs different from 1g to 2g? yes, i have the ecu, transmission, t-case, and all that shit. reason why i'm swapping is my 2g is wrecked.

The '90 model year of 1G had a different wiring and mounting setup of the coil pack than the other 1Gs, according to the shop manual. 95-99 differed as well.
