I have swapped engines and transmissions and am running into some questions for someone that has done it. Please let me know if you have.

Here is an update.
Car would not start and did not have spark at the plugs. I used a T/S tree supplied by Bitter and found a malfunctioning, corroded relay (EFI-F HTR). I replaced the relay and car started right up and purrred like a kitten. I drove the car around and it seems like the tranny is slipping. I added some Slick 50 Automatic Transmission Treatment and that seems to have fixed the slipping problem. The car is up for sale and my neighbor is very interested in it. End result - seized engine has been changed, original transmission and wiring harness/ECM used and car is operational. |
