February 28, 201610 yr I have a 95 legacy with a good 2.2 eng. This car is an automatic. I want to put that motor in a 96 legacy brighton wagon that has a 5 speed. The exhaust ports on the heads are different; 2 hole for 95 engine; 1 hole for the 96. I know the At engine has a pressure valve?? for the Automatic and this is not on the engine that is bad. can I just swap these motors striaght up and move the exhaust Y over to the brighton? Will the ECM in the 96 recognize the 95 engine. Looking for some seasoned advice, thanks!
February 28, 201610 yr yes, swap the engine with the exhaust y-pipe and all will be good. simple and easy.
February 28, 201610 yr Yep just swap the y pipe out and use the intake manifold that goes to the car your putting it in and all will be good.
February 28, 201610 yr Plug the EGR hole with a bolt. Or just leave all the EGR stuff there for decoration. Block off the vacuum hoses because it won't work anyway.
February 28, 201610 yr you do not need to swap the intake manifolds, there is no difference between them. except the 95 will have EGR. but the computer will not be looking for or sending any EGR info so no worries. this also means there is no need to plug the EGR hole in the head. swap away, simple and easy.
