"e" to "i" issues


#1

More issues: The car is an 87’ and had an "e" motor. I’m installing a 91’ "i" motor and tranny. The old guibo from my "e" motor doesn’t seem to fit…will a 91’ guibo fit both the tranny and my current driveshaft? Also, the same scenario but regarding engine mounts? Thanks.


#2

Is a 91’ guibo thicker???


#3

So nobody has any input on an e to i swap? None?

Cosmos,
I think there were a couple (at least) different guibos.
I think the older style had a small guibo with a balancer thing that covers the guibo - this is a real PITA to remove when doing work down there.

Do you have a parts CD to look at? You can use this website as a reference if you don’t:
