SL1 SOHC, into a DOHC SW2 eng swap

markisj · 08-08-2014, 11:30 PM

* Anyone done this ???
Both 1.9L, Can I swap a 2000 SL1 SOHC into a 1998 SW2 or SC2 DOHC? Both have auto transmissions.
Hoping I can just swap the ECM/PCM and engine.
Eng too trans should bolt up, Hopefully no wire Harnesses will need swapped out? I can get a rolled 2000 SL1 SOHC for cheep, engine ran great, complete vehicle lots of body damage though! Is it possible to do without a goodies powder? Any help would be great.

You can't swap SOHC->DOHC or DOHC->SOHC and keep the stock automatic. If yours is a DOHC now and you swap to a SOHC you'll have to locate a MP6 if you wish to keep it an automatic.

[QUOTE=fetchitfido)- Thanks for the info! I can also get the transmission out of the 2000 model, just a little nervous because the car rolled 3 times! There was no hood damage but there could be vibration damage due to the jarring!
