Help! 1.6L 8v Swap - 86 Sammy - Best Donor Year???
« on: October 09, 2012, 03:04:41 PM »
Does anyone know what would be the best donor year for a 1.6L 8v EFI swap into my 86 sam?  I want to keep the stock tranny if possible.  Someone told me different year donors will change what tranny I will need... is that true?  I want to get this project rolling asap but need to get the engine figured out first.  Thank you sooo much for any help!!


Also a friendly heads up!
Warning!! DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM  "NATIONWIDEPARTSHOP.COM"  Tim Killinger took my $(1,200) and never shipped a dang thing!  I had to file with my card issuing bank to fight him for my $$ back... the guy's a crook!!

any 1.6 will work with the adapter plate you have to buy, the 1.8 and 2.0 gets spendy they have a 2.4 I think now also. on the 1.6 you have obdI and ObdII so around 1995 and newer your engine light will not work unless you hook up the tank sensor.
1987,1988,1988,1990 samurai's,  1953 m38a1,  1996 x-90,blue.1996 x-90 red.1994 2 door tracker.   only Dead Fish go with the flow.                No Hairy Nosed Wombats were ran over on the trail today.       My ZUK is Xenophobic.
