Ok i got my engine rebuilt and was working on getting all the wiring hooked up. Ran accross a couple of problems. First the dizzi neded to be swaped then the oil pan. The motor is going in a 85 gs it came out of a 80 model. Is there any other problems i might run accrosss? And any 1 got good pics of the wiring because my friend has swaped 12A's before and he said he would help me with the wiring but of course he has been busy since i got my motor back. Any help would be great.

You wont have a place to put the Oil pressure line, and the carb and Rats nest is different, Just use the carb off your 85 and the dizzy from the 85.

I dont know of any reason that you would have needed to swap the pan.

oil level sensior on an 80 is different an i am running a dellorto carb and intake setup.

Should be all you need to change.

dont forget that your clutch is a different size.

yea i swaped alot of stuff the motor is more less an 85 but the builder forgot to put the 85 dizzy i swaped it. also not running ac either not sure if i want to swap the pan right now. might wait till i get it up and running and swap it when i do the first oil chage at 50 miles or so.

get off the computer and put your motor in your car. it should only take a few hours to install

Most should be plug and play... I've got an '83 engine in my '79 currently and everything plugged into where it was supposed to, IIRC.

you can make new oil cooler lines for a lot less by going to rinky dinks or the parker store and getting hyd hoses made that are good to 3000psi should be under 100 bucks for everything this is what i did on my car call me i will help you out

Actually 84 and 85 wire harness are different.

nick812

yea i found that out before i got the motor back but i think i got the wiring figured out and foud my extra oil cooler lines. so all i need now is an intake or intake and carb.
