89 Turbo Engine Swap to 90 SPG..Differences ? ..LONG Posted by JLitten007 [Email] ![]() ![]() |
Hi All
Beginning of summer I picked up a 1990 1&1/2 owner SPG. Under $500. Woman bought it new in Seattle gave it to her grandson.Car is in Spokane
He thought it needed a Tranny.
So thought I'd just do a engine tranny swap. I found a 89 Turbo with 140K
For 1K.
I've been in Alaska all summer so haven't been with ether of the cars but 1 day each.
Flew down to Portland back in July and picked up the 89 and drove it Portland to Spokane. About 350 miles.
Car was in great condition and ran so well I almost hate to use it for a Donner car....
Anyway.....If it comes to the Engine/tranny swap..(Will be with both cars again in late Sept.)
Are there any differences with the engine from the 89 and the 90 SPG?
injectors? Head? turbo? that I should move from the 90 SPG engine to the 89 turbo?
I'm really hoping it's just the CV's or innerdrivers so as to not striping the 89..
All the 89 really needs is a new Fascia on the dash and radio to be in almost perfect shape...
Can't wait to get started in this project...
Any input will be much appreciated..
