HI, what parts if any are NOT interchangeable between a 1974 and a 1973?

74 no engine, 73 1.7 engine. parts from 74 to be used on 73..

tks

That's a bit of a broad question. Can you be more specific?

Things like doors, hoods, engine lids, bumpers seats, backpads, dash, headlights, turn signals, rear tallights, etc, etc... can be interchanged (some as direct swap and some with minor tweaks (bumpers come to mind for this).

As far as parts that make an engine work, that is a bit more in depth. Here is a great reference site on D-Jet http://members.rennlist.com/pbanders/djetparts.htm

tks for the reply.... you pretty much answered my question. not really concerned about the engine.... although......would a 1.7L engine match up with the motor
mounts and trans mounts of 74 body?

tks again

Yes. It all bolts together.

Some of the electrical bits are different, but that can usually be dealt with by a bit of re-wiring or making adaptor wires. (E.g., two turn signal indicators on the 73 instead of one on the 74.)
