DIESEL TO PETROL
Posted: Thu Jun 25, 2009 7:48 pm
here is a link to my current project:
SAS body swapping IFS 1987 to SOLID 1986
My question is,
I'm currently using a VERY RELIABLE but smokey 2L-T(2.4L turbo) diesel motor but body swapping to a dinosaur 3Y(2.2L bigger carby with extractors) petrol so what wiring is required to use a 3y petrol carby motor?
My view on ignition is:
*cut out the glow plug wire (done because mine is on a button)
*need to find how accessories/starting/running power works from the key barrel?
*the coil is built into the dizzy so all wiring to make motor work is based there?
last but not least is the swap easy as I think or like my mates say just use the diesel motor and move engine mounts?[/i]
