    Default Engine Swap???

    hey all, i got a wagon, series 2.

    got a sedan wreck with good motor/box series 1 (manual)

    what i wanna do is, take motor and stuff out of wagon...and put the good motor gearbox pedals etc from sedan into my wagon

    can i put a series 1 motor and box if i pull it out as one, and put it into the wago which is origianly series 2? i have read that the flywheel and some other bits r different...but if i am putting the whole motor/gearbox into wagon, will there be any problem in doing so?

    also what do i need to change on the diff?

    thanks alot
    Cheers 5spdvn

    yeah the engine swap should be a straight swap I don't think you'll run into any difficulties with that, but diff in sedan is completely different to the diff in the wagon and won't fit
