I've got a 1992 EX Wagon with 300K miles on it. The F22A6 in the wagon snapped its timing belt and bent its valves. At around the same time, I met an old man with a 1992 LX sedan rusting away in his backyard. The body was toast, but the motor was mint with 47K miles on it. So I bought the sedan with the intent of using the motor in my wagon.
I bought the LX Sedan off of him and I have the F22A1 motor out. I just got the F22A6 motor out of my wagon.
- I've kept the exhaust manifold and downpipe from the F22A6 and have lengthened the wiring to the O2 sensor on the F22A1 engine with some soldering to reach the rear location of the O2 sensor on the wagon.
- I've put the F22A6 motor mount bracket on the F22A1 so that the motor will fit around the beefier rear motor mount on the wagon.
- I am planning to use the stock camshaft in the F22A1 (as the motor is so low miles)
- I am planning to use the stock intake manifold for the F22A1
- I am planning to use the stock wiring harness on the F22A1 engine and plug it into the wiring harness on the body of the ex wagon. I am planning to take out the PT6 ecu from the wagon and plug in the PT3 from the sedan.
- I was thinking of removing the camshaft and intake manifold from the F22A6, and the PT6 from the wagon and saving these parts for use at a later date if I ever wanted to increase the hps of the F22A1.
I have a few questions:
(1) is it okay to leave the wiring harness on the F22A1 engine or should I really remove the wiring harness from the F22A6 engine and put it on the F22A1 before I drop it in the wagon? Similarly, is it okay to just swap the ecu from the PT6 to the PT3 since I am putting in the less aggressively tuned engine?
(2) If I were to Frankenstein my F22A1 engine at a later date, are the camshaft, PT6 ecu, and intake manifold the only things I would need to keep off of my old F22A6 engine? or, should I also save the engine wiring harness from the H22A6?Reminder, I have decided to run the F22A1 with the exhaust manifold from the F22A6 engine, so I am already saving that.
