I'm probably going to end up doing the swap, but it might be awhile. I've got to work out of a 1.5 car garage <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />
I want to be able to keep everything on my first gen dash working.
Anybody have any idea of how much of a pain it will be to wire in the 3.2L. I'm guessing I'm going to have to use all of the wiring from the 93. Or should I try to adapt my 89's harness?
I would just transfer the "93" wiring harness over to the "89". It would be a whole lot easier! The dash wires shouldn't be that hard to change over with both of them right there. You should be able to leave the rear harness on the "89" cause I don't think there will be much, if any, splicing you'll need to do there.
Just get a label maker and start labeling. That's how I'm doing Melissas Trooper. Going from a 5 speed stick to 4 speed auto. So basically it's the same thing. Oh, and be very generous with the camera. Sure saves time not to have to remember every detail.
I've heard that the wheelbase on the second gens are a few inches longer. does anybody know if its the rear thats been stretched or the front, or both.
Not sure of the exact difference right now but, I can look it up later tonight in the spec books. It's not much IIRC.

Not a bad idea. I'm swapping in a diesel into my "89" I Mark this week. There are a lot of differences there. The 2.2 TD Trooper is next. I'm off work the rest of the month! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/butwiggle.gif" alt="" /> So I got time! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
