    IIA 2.6 into a III

    Anyone know if a 2.6lt engine from a IIA can be dropped into a 2.6 SIII station wagon. Would there be any issues which would prevent this or would it be a straightforward changeover?

    Any advice would be appreciated, before I start ripping everything out.

    G'day All, I'm no expert (come to think of it, that's correct LOL) but I couldn't see any problems with the engine swap, maybe a few minor things like wiring, as I'm assuming the S2A could have a Generator and the S3 will have an Alternator.
    The clutch/pressure plate could be different as the S2A has a different release mechanism, you might need to get a hold of a S3 type clutch/pressure plate.
    Maybe carburettors and fuel lines could be different, I think the exhaust will be the same, I'm sure if I'm wrong someone with more intimate knowledge will correct me, cheers Dennis
    ps anyway it;s nothing that can't be overcome,,.
