Auto 4A-GE into AE-85

[Rick]

I am planning on putting a big port red top 4A-GE in to my ae-85 I was going to buy a AE-92 levin/trueno and use the engine, wiring loom and any other bits I can. Now the thing is I can get a trueno for cheap but it is automatic is there any differences to the wiring loom compared to a manual? and is the computer different?

cheers

Even though they're generally faster...

to answer your question = yes there is a difference

using an auto engine will cause you some major headaches with the wiring... used an auto engine in my conversion and probably held us up a good week or two just tryin to figure it all out. this is with blue-top however.. not too sure on redtops?

if possible, try and go for a manual engine - wil save u trouble in long run.

or just get the auto engine, but find your self a manual wiring loom and comp

when i was doing a mates manual conversion the only headache there was with the auto loom was the inhibitor switch, just removed it out of the circut, we had no futher problems after that

Yeah - starter inhibitor, just connect the wires together.
Also - computer might have a slightly different idle otherwise the same as far as I know.
