Hi, I looked throgh FAQ and couldn't find any good info on 1.8L to 2.2L swaps.
My car looses a lot of oil and its either I sell (get rid of it) or swap an engine into it. And since its really difficult to find 1.8L I was thinking of swaping 2.2L in place of it. So my question is how hard it is to swap 2.2L engine + auto tranny (my car is auto) into 1.8L ST? Do I use the same mounts or will I need to make new mounts for the engine/tranny? Will the wiring just plug in? (I know I'll need to use another ECU)? If anyone did this before please tell how difficult it is and if it is or not a direct fit. Thank you

Also 7A'S aren't hard to find just find someone that has swapped for power and not engine issues. Or look into a junk yard for a totaled Celica, Corolla or Geo Prizm LSI. It would be cheaper to have a shop put in a used 7A then to try and do a swap if you don't want to.
