81beater Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 Hi, can someone please tell me if I can put the engine from an 84 2wd wagon into an 81 4wd wagon? Would this be a straight swap or are there necessary modifications (even minor ones)? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLCraig Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 The swap you're planning to do isn't that bad of one at all. I would recromend just swapping the longblock and reuse the intake, carburetor and distributor form the 81 that you have, those items are different on an 84. Also a 84 engine will have on each exhause port a piece of the emission system that you do not need and you will need to get them off before your Y-pipe will bolt to the engine correctly.
