IIRC, there is a member that did just that. I think he went by socal1992q45 or something like that.

He swapped the heads from his earlier motor onto the bottom enbd of the NEW crate motor.

I'll see if I can find some posts.

Found him search for archived posts by SOCAL91Q45a, I hope that sheds some light on it for you.

theres quite a few wiring differences, but all the signals and stuff are the same... best would be just to get the wiring harness from the 95.

[djessyjames]

if the signals are all the same cant I just splice in the 4 wire plug to the sensor, i do not have a complete harness, just what is on the lh side,

[elwesso]

yeah you can splice... The coil pack connetors are different too so you may want to use the coil packs from your other motor...

i swapped out everything i could, the only thing left is that plug, do you know of anywhere to get a wiring diagram so i know whats what on that ??. it cant be that hard, its only four wires!!

[djessyjames]

oh by the way , i have the strut bar you needed

Too bad you don't live in AZ. Greg has a 90 engine for a 95 car and you have a 95 engine for a 92 car. You guys could just swap engines. All would be solved.

dont want to do chain guides again this is the 3rd engine in my Q , not very nice to my car, if it aint sideways, its boring anyway this will be the last time i do this, got it down to @ 5 hrs in and out,

I may be coming up this weekend to visit ross.. If I do ill pick it, you think youd be able to ship it to me????

Anyway, i have the wiring diagram right here.

To make it easier, the pins are as follows... Looking at the terminal side, going left to right, A B C D

A- (i assume is ground)B- PowerC- 1* signalD- 90* signal

if you come up this weekend , you can have it, ive got no plans all weekend so if we can get together, cool, 616-218-5973,, thankz bro

You have the engine R&R down to 5 hours?

Can you remove the engine from the top or do you have to drop it out the bottom?

Do you have a good thread to engine R&R?

[djessyjames]

the first swap i did from the bottom, new motor and trans @ 7hrs, from the top just seems to be faster, the only hard part ive noticed is keeping the engine on a good angle so that the exhaust manifolds clear the firewall and the steering rod, ive dismantled cars for the past 13 years, so its all in a days work.
