RWD 3a to 4age swap

Postby dxtawagon » Sat Jan 08, 2011 5:37 pm

Hi There,

quick question....

can i use the water pump, alternator (and bracket) and pulley off a rwd 3a engine on a rwd 4age engine?

i think it should bolt up as 3a block is the same as 4a??? not sure if the alternator would be up to the job though? 3a also has smaller alt belt.

Cheers

about the only thing of use is the back half of the water pump. even then may as well buy a new pump. as above just use the fwd stuff. or buy all the rwd stuff. mix and match of rwd and fwd doesnt work.
