92 Tercel Engine swap
Ive read most of the posts on this subject, but i still have a few questions about compatibility.
I have a 92 Tercel DX, after 12 years the engine is going, and a replacement sound like a good option as the rest of the car, tranny included is in awesome shape.
Stock engine, 5spd manual is what it has, and im leaning toward the Starlet GT 1.3L turbo for a replacement.
Q1: are the transmissions compatible? i really dont want to have to replace it, as its a good transmission, and extra cost is never good.
Q2: There is a bit of body rust on the car, near the ground mostly, and a bit around the windshield, but the frame seems fine. A friend of mine said that if there is any rust, it means the frame is weak, and a powerful engine will tear teh car apart. Is this true?
Last question: are the ignition, water pumps, etc compatibile? if i swapped these two engines, what else would have to be changed?
Thanks a lot
Alex
