Default tc engine question

this may be a n00b question but will it be any problem putting a motor from an automatic tc in to a manual one?

Just make sure you replace the knuter valve.

Just kidding. They are the same and the only diffrence will come in the ecu program is a little diffrent for autos.

why are you switching motors if they are the same? if you're attempting to do an auto to manual swap, you look at the transmission and ecu, not motor.....

i remember a garage that did a motor swap on a saturn. it was the engine from a manual saturn to be put in an auto saturn, they said all they had to do was change the flywheel.

mind you not a performance motor swap, the car just needed a new motor period and they got this one from a junkyard or something.
