Wow you don't post for a ferw months and look waht happens

Love the new look guys!

anyway i hahve a 1982 FB, and have just picked up a 1984 FB for parts.

I think since both are standard, the motors are interchangable is this sright? i know thisisnt the case if there was an auto to manual swap ...

Also are the radiators teh same? teh '84 has teh behive oil cooler and the rad looks like it might be taller.. that or teh oil cooler sits lower .


anyone ever make a list of what is and isn't directly compatable between 1st gens?

thanks in advance

 

Two kinds of radiators are installed in the 1st gens. If the oil cooler is installed below the radiator it's a short style. The other is longer and oil cooler is the behive type

 

confirmed it mysel witha tape measure

now i either have to get the other oil cooler, or another rad

 

or you could just get some lines made and mount the '82's oil cooler in front (similar to the SE). search around ... i'm sure there are a few threads with pics of this. if your lines were OEM, they could probably be in need of replacing anyway.
