engine and drivetrain 2L into 1600

[MichaelP]

I have a good 2 liter motor with a DGAV from a '73 02 at my disposal to swap into our '71 1600. I'm thinking I'll just retain the 1600's Porsche type transmission for ease of swap.

Besides having to deal with a difference in chokes (manual to automatic) is there anything else that I should be anticipating? I can't think of anything...

FWIW, this would a temporary swap while I rebuild the 1.6 to ti specification.

good, i was beginning to wonder what you had done to that sweet little 1600.

mechanism. The 2002 clutch is considerably stronger than the 1600, and you may find it a bit stiff. The main PITA is swapping the pedal bucket but it's an easy enough conversion with the engine out of the car--and you can get all the pieces you need from an '02 parts car.

Not much to it really. The 71 1600 already has a hydraulic setup, brakes are the same, 12v system is the same and all electronic wires/harnesses hook up the same and your transmission will bolt up easily to the 2L of course.

Should be a pretty straight forward swap. Enjoy!

Cool. Thanx all!

Onward!
