1994 Sohc Auto To Manual Trans Swap

Teddyg_123 · 05-12-2009, 01:28 AM

I have a 1992 sohc with a manual and a 94 sohc with an auto. the 92s engine smokes like cheech and chong and the 94s trans is shot. i only need one of the cars. i was wandering if the 94s engine will work with my 92s computer as long as i switch all the external sensors. i dont want to have to take the heads off. if not how bad is it to convert the 94 to manual.
Please help

'94 engine will not run in the '92. '91 and '92 had a different crankshaft, different timing.

Manual swap, once thought impossible, has been done aprx. 114989345626 times. Search is your friend.

Can I buy a Computer for a 94 with a manual and put that and the entire 94 engine in the 92?

You'll need a 1994 engine wiring harness, 1993/1994 instrument cluster and some rewiring of the instrument cluster connector.
