Looking at getting a 95 non turbo 5spd 850. It runs but nocks when revved.....I have 2 850 motors ones got a turbo one does not. Both have auto trannies. I plan to use the non turbo one. I dont know the year of the motor that i have does that matter?? And is there a difference auto vs stick engines?? He wants 400 bucks and i have a motor Should i go for it?? btw anyone want turbo 850 motor and trans ?? Thanks ZR

 

Should be no problem with the motors, the trannies are different but you are hooking it up to a manual so I think you'll be fine.

 

Called a junk yard near here that deals in imports. And they made it sound like a big deal..as they wanted the vin and what not. Called a big parts yard and nothin said bout vins just year ect ect. Stranberg parts tryin to sell me on something or what?? Lol If i were to care how would i find out what year engine i got??? i assume its got numbers on the block some place or maybe the trans?? Thanks for the feed back Zech

 

Well, I'm far from an expert on swapping motors. I do know that SN's on the front of the t-blet cover has the motor specs but some do have different things like EGR, PCV changes, and stuff like that. You may want to wait for a pro or ask guys on MATT's site. There is a guy here trying to get one started that he swapped a '99 motor into a '95. He's stuck.

 

That guy would be me . I do know that you will need the 5th & 6th of your vin, as well as weather you have an air pump or not. My biggest obstacle installing the engine was the 99 front mount is a little different and I had to buy one for a 99, than it fell right into place.
I might be a little naive here but I truly feel that my issue is not with the replacement engine, but with the car. The reason I feel that way is I have no spark from the coil. When it warms up a little here I have replacement cam & crank sensor I’m going to try, Kent.

 

Hey Kent: You know I wasn't trying to knock you just trying to make sure I didn't misslead Phil into thinking it was a piece of cake and I knew it all. Hope that cam sensor works out for you. It got my daughters S70 running real quick.

 

rspi, not to worry man didnt think you or anyone was, only offering what I have learned when I started shopping for my replacment engine.

 

BTW, cam & crank sensors did nothing for me! Grrrr

 

The motor is turning over, right?

 

Oh ya, I also have fuel, just no spark from the coil. Is there fuseable links on these cars?
