My brother and I are going to swap my motor and trans from my 91 into my new (and MUCH nicer :cheers: ) 92. My first question regards the climate control. My 91 doesn't have electronic climate control and the a/c didn't work to begin with. Is there any reason I wouldn't be able to directly hook up the electronic climate control when I do the swap? I'm assuming that there would be no reason this wouldn't work but was just wondering. Also, I've never done an engine and tranny swap on ANY car and was wondering (roundabout) how long this would take with an engine hoist (as we'll be using one). My brother lives for SHO's and knows a great deal and I also have done a good bit of work on them, so I don't see us running into too many problems. I just need some imput on how long it took other people to do the swap as I only have a period of about two weeks to get the car completely up and running before I have to rely on it again for work and whatnot. As always imput is greatly appreciated. Also, I've strayed away from the forum for the past couple of months due to some hostilities that I noticed but now that I've come back it has a whole new look and seems like its once again the friendly and helpful place that I remember. Great job to all those who worked to make the site better! :thumbs_u:

How's a full day of work with Wascar's hoist to get it running, then we can worry about the EATC. BTW your car is a 90 and the SHO we are doing the swap into is a 93. All 91's came with an EATC :thumb:
I just picked up a red 91 for $70 :evil_gri:
It's NIZCE

I always mistake my year with the red one you sold to Elvis...and the white one is a 93? News to me man. And go **** yourself one day for the swap. I always expect problems. Just like the motor mounts (which should have been a 1/2 day job) took almost 3. BTW do you have a clutch lying around that I can just add on to the price b/c I hate to put mine in and just have to take it out in 2 months.
