Engine swap: will a 93 4-cylinder auto fit in a 91 4-cylinder auto

I have a 1991 4 cylinder auto. I have the opportunity to buy a 1993 4 cylinder auto with low miles- the car was T-boned, but otherwise complete. Will the 93 engine work in my 91? Can I use my 91 tranny?

Thanks

yeah it'll fit fine but you're gonna have to custom an engine mount and it's probbly already the same tranny as you have right now.

If im not mistaken the 93 has the 5sfe. So it should be a direct bolt on to your 3sfe. But you will have to your wiring harness and ecu. But as far as the tranny goes... Im not sure.

91 is 3SFE and the 93 is a 5SFE. transmissions you would probably be ok. but you will ahve to have wiring work done and also need the ECu from the 93 most likely.

rewiring everything will be a bitch, and youll need a different engine mount, but thats not too bad.

the wiring is gonna be a good bit different though, might not be worth it because of that.

I didn't think putting a 5SFE inplace of a 3SFE was that easier a swap...

For your wiring, I suggest you look up Dr. Tweak on the Tercel Forum, or at < http://www.phoenixtuning.com > or check out Back Yard Productions at < http://www.back-yard-productions.com/ > They both specilaze in engine swaps including rewiring the harnesses.

what are you really trying to do, if its to save money then a 3sfe swap will do you good! but if the 5sfe came at a discount, then do the extras in redoing wiring IMO!
