Re: 1g 2g swap

Bolting the motor in is not a problem, if you have a 2G transmission. 3 of the 4 motor mounts are on the tranny on the 2G cars, while 3 of the 4 motor mounts are on the motor in the 1Gs. Running a 2G tranny in a 1G car also isn't too hard, since you just don't use 2 of the 2G tranny mounts. I don't know about going the other way around.

The rear end setups are much different on the 2G versus 1G. There wouldn't be much use to trying to swap a 1G rear end into a 2G. The 2G rear ends and axles aren't too bad as far as breakage. The most common problem with higher HP 2Gs is the 2G rear end actually breaking thier mounting ears and becoming a Woodbridge Parachute.
