In Reply to: Will a 200i6 bolt in to replace a 170i6? posted by N8 on August 28, 1998 at 15:34:00:
What about a 302?? If you have to do an engine & tranny swap anyway, why not go for the "GUSTO"?...
: My por brother:( he has only had his car on the road a week and on the way home from school the tranny went out andhe olny had 1st gear. He idled it home and in 100 degree heat with a leaking radiator he over heated the motor, BAD.( talk about a bad day)
: when the car cooled down he heard the block crack (then his heart cracked).
: Any way I'd like to replace the motor with a 200i6, they are better motors than the 170 and easier to come by. I'll also need a tranny (C4) so were gonna just pick up a boneyard motor tranny combo and bolt it in, That is if it will bolt up. Are the motor and tranny mounts the same? Is the drive line the same length?
: So all of you who Know PLEASE help me and Mark out.
: This little is his first and he was almost in tears when this all happened.
