Hello, this is my first post on here so please go easy on me
I have used the forum in the past for little bits of info and always found it very helpful, but this time the reason for me coming here is a bit more complicated, well for me anyway.
I have a friend who has asked me if it is possible to fit him a 2.2 5cyl engine from an 80 into his 1993 coupe which currently has a 2.0 16v engine. I dont have much info at the moment of what year/model vehicle the 2.2 is out of and was just wanting to know if its a pretty straight forward engine swap? I have lots of experience of engine swaps/conversions and rebuilds but sorry to say its mainly been on french motors
I have worked on quite a few 80, 90, and coupes before so there not too unfamiliar to me but never gone into doing engine swaps until now. Am hoping there will be a few on here that have done it before and can advise me on any problems i may come across and it would be handy to know everything that would be needed to do it before i start. Im guessing ill need engine and all ancillarys, gearbox?, wiring loom and ecu? radiator and all hoses?
any help will be much appreciated
cheers
