Beegeer Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Ok First time, here goes... I acquired two running 1983 wagons, total cost: $310. One is a 4wd the other 2wd. I replaced most of the common stuff in the 4wd, front axels, ball joints, wheel bearings, brake pads and basic tune up. Runs OK, it does have 275K miles on the EA-81 engine. The other car only has 100K on it and the engine seems to be in much better shape. So I was planning on an Engine swap. Here is were my question lies. The 2wd has a 5-speed tranny. Can I swap that out with the 4speed in the tranny in the 4wd Soob as well?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chef_tim Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Are you saying that you want to make the 4wd a 2wd??? If so, then yes it is a direct swap. Gotta remember Subs don't have a transfercase, it's all one unit. You could find a 5spd D/R out of an EA82 car and put that in. Lots of us have done that swap.
