4a-gze swap, need to clear some things up Options

[DustyBurns30]

i did a search and have been trying to find info on what goes wrong when people try to swap a 4a engine into their celi's. it said in the feasible swap sticky that there is some problem when you use the 4a tranny and then i read about something going wrong with the power steering pump. does anyone know what exactly the problem is? coomer and mynzeyes, you guys are the ones with the experience, i'm particularly interested in your input.

btw, i know this topic has been discussed a lot, but there is no real clear cut info on it, so if anyone knows where i can find some please let me know.

thanks

To add a bit more... you can swap flywheels. I believe if you use a 212mm flywheel (7AFE, Redtop 4AGE, 20V 4AGE) etc... it should fit and work correctly with the correctly sized clutch. They all used the same flywheel bolt pattern, which is 8 bolts (nearly every single A series motor)... however, the only reason not to use the C52 tranny is that it's not as tough as the e51. You'll probably want to either swap flywheels in order to use the C52, or custom build the tranny mount for the e51. Either-or should work. Even better... find yourself a C56 (blacktop 6 speed) and go to town... 4AG trannies typically are pretty cheap... and they are nearly identical to the 7AFE c52.
