Hi All!
Out of nowhere today my 91 Regina 740 Wagon decided to start knocking and sieze up....
So im looking to upgrade (never going back to something that slow) I have tools and fab skills, just looking for input from people who have done swaps before on some of the forgotten about difficulties and whatnot.
The car is auto and i plan on keeping it like that to make the swap a little simpler. Also I am wanting to stay inline (no v6/8/10/12)
These are what I have thought of so far:
B230 turbo---easiest to put in, everything bolts up and plugs...good bang for buck
B6304---coolness, 2 cams, great sounds, decent power for a cruiser...would stock driveshaft bolt up and go to my stock straight axle? (i know 960 is IRS)
2JZ---I have experience working with these, would be non turbo for initial simplicity...anyone know if the stock intake manifold that goes over the valve cover fits?
Other RWD oriented inline 4 5 or 6 cyls are welcome.
My junkyard will be having a sale this next week (anything I can get on a 3'x5' cart for 50 bucks....I may get a couple longblocks with trans just for kicks)
Thanks for your positive constructive input! and Include pics of your swaps and odds and ends! Info on if accessories from my redblock will work on swaps would be great too. My AC is icy cold and I plan on keeping it that way!
