Hey Guys
My motor blew up in my hatch yesterday, been chasing bad noise and knock for a while, I had a feeling. Chain snapped, sprocket went out, blam, dead. No compression, valves bonked.
Anyway, I have a donor car - it's a 92 convertible. I am planning to swap the motor out of and into this one (just the block and transmission actually, I am keeping everything else).
I'm also going to change the steering rack out and the steering column, as mine are both in bad shape.
My question is - are there any changes I need to be aware of for the steering column?
I believe the shifter rod bushing between the transmission and the shaft is different - one is a squarish looking block the other cylindrical.
I'd like to know about the steering column more though - it's an 92 so it has air bags. is the column any different or can I switch that whole assembly over and keep my old non air bag steering wheel?
Also - any other pointers and things to look for - I'd be happy to hear about.
Thanks!
Calvin
