4 bangr engin swap?
Greetings! It's been a while since I last posted, but I have a big question. I have an 88 pony with a 4cylinder that broke a timing belt. After fixing the belt, the engine ran with a lope. After a compression test, #1 cylinder compresses to 30-35# then drops to zero on each complete revolution. Suspect is a bent valve.
A friend has a rusted out 91 pony, 4 cylinder with the DIS 8-plug ignition system. Other than the ignition system, the power train appears to be identical. Can I place the 91 power train in the 88 pony? Access to the computer and other wiring harnesses are there and would come with the replacement engine. What all would I need to collect? For $200 would the swap be worth the time and effort? The 88 engine runs, and the other cylinders register above 90 psi on the compression test (#2-90 #3-95 #4-140). This forums collective wisdom is greatly appreciated. Robert Seabrook, Beaufort, SC
