She is a 95 with a 3 liter auto needing a few transplants. I picked up a beater to tear down for parts which has a 4 liter and a stick. I'm not inclined to put the still strong 4 liter in being the 3 has low mileage on the rebuild and auto trans, but would the 4 slide in with minimal modifications where it to become necessary down the road?
I imagine you guys have a better idea which parts are interchangeable. First I need the egr sensor which at first glance looks the same, but is it really? My u-joints are squeaking and so I am fixing to simply change out the drive shafts if they are the same, or do I require purchasing new joints? For years I have been unable to source a Y-pipe and would welcome to know if the 4 and 3 liter are the same animal, can't eye them up being the old one required to be cut off and a one piece pipe fabricated?
In Canada, the auto glass companies have all joined together refusing to sell windshields to the public forcing you to pay for the $300.00 install too. Then with an older model any amount of body prep must be completed by a body shop which is another monopoly between the two trades. Can anyone direct me where I can just buy a front glass?
Thanks for any advise in advance.
