Getting ready to decide which way to go motor wise in my 240 (89 SOHC powered). I can easily find wiring/mod guides for the SR motors online (which is a plus.. being that I do all my own work and am fairly familiar with automotive/electrical wiring, etc).

Its nice to have an online "swap guide" that someone has the required splices/cuts mapped out... makes my job alot eaiser than trying to compare the ECCS pinouts and such and figuring things out from there w/ a multimeter.

Question is this........ does anyone have an online "how to" swap guide for the CA motors? I have seen very little about this swap online but am actually thinking I'd rather go that route for a few reasons (its not worth arguing here.. I've already seen the arguements on here about CA vs. SR!! haha)

Basically looking for what wires you have to cut/splice here and there and all that good stuff. Ya know.. probably going with a front clip though.. so it shouldn't be too bad to figure out..

Thanks

make sure they don't cut your harness at the firewall and you get the computer.
