Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a manual 1999 C2 coupe (75000 miles) with a newly rebuilt 3.4 engine (less than 3000 miles). Unfortunately I hit a deer and the body damage on the 99 C2 is beyond a reasonable price to repair. I have a lead on a low mileage (54000) reasonably priced manual 2000 Cabriolet with a bad engine. What is involved in installing the 99 C2 engine into the 2000 Cab? My 99 has a throttle cable and the 2000 has the e-Gas throttle so the throttle bodies and wiring harness would need to be swapped. Do the intake manifolds need to be swapped as well? Are there any other components that need to be swapped? I've looked at the Technical Questions and Archives sections of PCA.ORG and have not found much detail concerning this type of swap. A few om my friends and I installed the rebuilt engine into the 99 C2 in May so I'm familiar with what is involved with removing and installing the engine. We had a lift, transmission jack, and lots of tools which made the installation a "breeze"..

I would think you will need to change the TB and the engine harness. Everything else should bolt right up.
