It is DEFINITELY the "flex plate" btwn the engine and the trans. The internal balance is different btwn the early and late model engines, and using an early flex plate on a later model engine will throw it OUT OF BALANCE.
Use a late flex plate with the SAME diameter and the SAME number of teeth for the starter.

I'd ask over in the Isuzu Modifications/Aftermarket/Accessories discussion while waiting for responses in here.
Steve, Host
in any case, i'm wondering the need. The '92 4.3 had 160hp, right? The '89 Camaro RS (according to a source I just found) had 170. They both had the same torque (230). Not to mention the fuel-injected carburetor thing that chevy dubbed TPI vs the more advanced fuel injection system of the 4.3.
I also know there is a plug-in chip for the 4.3 that improves its power quite a bit (i don't have hard numbers on this, only past experience).
So why go through the trouble? Only reason I can think of is that the 4.3 engine is blown and you happen to have the 305 on hand?? Heck, it would be alot easier, and probably cheaper, to go find another s10 with a good engine.

My dh is going to try and pull out and swap the motor from the Mercury Vil. It is a 96 model really nice. My question is how dose it come out? Dose it come from the bottem, or dose it come out of the top? I know you are probbly lol thats ok.
Thank you for your time.
Wondering which one would fit better without much modifications.
What is involved?
Is there any manuals on this??
that it may be possible to put a 1990 toyota camry v6 engine and man trans under
the hood. Is this possible or what else can i do.
:confuse:
The V6 in the '90 camry only puts out 156 hp/160 lb-ft. Not exactly "beastly," especially when you'll be adding weight to the nose of your car.
If you have a GT or GTS, then you are already better off than if you swap in the heavier V6. If you have an ST, then I suggest looking for a GT/GTS.

You might also try searching the Internet for used or rebuilt transmission specialists and e-mail or call them about this interchange. My instincts tell me there should be no difference as long as the wagon has the same engine as your car. However, it is possible you might have to route a few lines this way or that and use your own driveshaft of course.
Another way is just measure your trans and then the used unit, and snag a number off it if you can. Maybe you could drive your car to the used unit and just crawl back and forth until you're sure.
Thankyou

Do you have some emotional attachment to your escort?

65 is too narrow. It can be done, but it'll be NASTY. Even doing the 351W swap into a 65 is tight, clearancing of the shock towers being needed. Can usually just indent the shock towers slightly in the effected areas to make the 351 swap, no need to cut them. Use block-hugger headers and there you go. To get a big-block in the 65 to towers may have to be removed and new ones made - I wouldn't suggest cutting them up, structural integrity and all.
Good luck.
body. My 1980 240D just ate the #2 cylinder and I thought this might be
a good opportunity to get a bit more power from my vehicle. The body of
the 240 is in excellent condition and best of all, it has a manual
transmission. Will the 300 bolt up to the transmission? Can I use the
same flywheel from the 240? Will I need to go to heavier front springs
due to the extra weight of the 300? Would I be able to use the turbo
diesel engine or non-turbo?
Conversely, could I install the manual transmission and fllywheel from the 240D into a 300D? I have an opportunity to purchase either a 300TD or a 300D. This would be much less labor if the swap is possible.
Is there someone out there with experience in this matter?
I have plenty of expertise is working on vehicles (was an aircraft
mechanic, also ran a fleet of 40 vehicles) so I'm not afraid to try
something new.
Thank you.
