Hello,
This is my first post on the forums here. I have a chance to get my hands on a 1991 Dodge Colt for free. However, it may need a new engine. I found an engine from a 1990 Eagle summit. The engine in the colt is a 12 valve motor, but the Summit engine is an 8 valve. Does anyone know if the 8 valve engine will work in the 91 colt?
I did some searching on the forums and found that the ECU's will probably work fine. But what about the wiring harnesses? I know the distributor is in different locations. But it looks like there is a cover on the 8 valve head where the distributor might go? Could i put the 12 V distributor on the 8 V head? I would get the complete 8 Valve motor, with intake and exhaust manifolds. It looks like it will bolt right in, but im woried there may be problems that i do not know about. Do you think it would be worth it to try, or should i try and find a 12 valve motor? The 8 valve motor i found has 90k on it got $230.
Thanks,
Matt
