xyber 1 Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 well easy, it comes off exactly how it looks like it would, swap temp sensor over and throttle body after you give them a clean upI unbolted the from panel and pulled it forward and inch to get abit more room but that was for a schrick which is bigger so you'll probably get away without doing that Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Schricks are too bloody tight.....mines gotta come of to change spark plugs and put a bit of bling on a dark engine bay Link to post Share on other sites
xyber 1 Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Schricks are too bloody tight.....mines gotta come of to change spark plugs and put a bit of bling on a dark engine bayI was surprised how much bigger they were, has it all got to come off or can just the centre section with the easily accessable bolts come off to change the plugs?

VR6marty 0 Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 I'm just about to replace my engine with another 2.8 as i heat seized the bottom end. I was wondering if its a straight swap for me to put a 2.9 inlet manifold and throttle body onto a 2.8? Any suggestions appreciated Link to post Share on other sites
Antihero1981 8 Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 dont think a 2.9 would work without mods... Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 2.9 mani will work on OBD1 2.8s but wont do too much really Link to post Share on other sites
