The 90q I asked about yesterday (thanks for all replies) did have a
blown head gasket, at least. Cylinders 4 and 5 are wet in coolant and
have got really low compression, so now we know for sure. In addition,
this engine has got ticking lifters, some leaks, old timing belt etc.
I have a very good KU engine from an '87 100q sitting here. The engine
in the 90q is a KV.
We're thinking about putting in the KU engine instead of opening the
old KV and possibly finding a warped head etc.
Now to the point - I know I have to use the 90q alternator/power
steering pump brackets and the 90q intake manifold/flywheel. Can I
keep the type 44 exhaust manifold, will it match with the 90q
downpipe? The old 90q engine has got a cracked and leaking manifold
too..
Any other things that I need to transplant from the old engine to the
"new"?
