Hey guys, I have an 85 J2000 (Sunbird) with a siezed engine and I was just wondering if an engine out of a 94 Sunbird would be a direct bolt in? Thanks in advance, Deven.

It should be a direct bolt in...the only real change in the 1st and second gens were the body and the dashboard...

Wll I am going from throttle body to fuel injected, so I guess that would mean I have to take all of the computers and stuff out right? This is just for a demolition derby car so anything that I do not need in order for it to run can be forgot about. Thanks, Deven

Computer, gauges, fuel pump, wiring harness..thats about it...exhaust manifolds should still work...

Alright thanks a lot guy, i'm going to run my 94 Sunbird through the demo derby first and then swap the engines once i'm done. Hopefully the tranny lines up:rolleyes: I have another question that I dont know if anyon can answer here or not...do Toyota Tercels have fuel pumps? I'm talking an 89 Tercel hatchback. I guess the best would just to jump over to te "Toyota" section lol. Thanks, Deven

Tranny should bolt up fine...the 1.8 and 2.0 are the same engine, just the cylinders have been punched out a bit...
