So, I just bought a parts car but it came with a great engine. The car was originally a 1.8 but the guy he bought it from told him it was upgraded to a 2.0. Is there any way I can tell the dif with out pulling it apart?

Also is there a dif between the heat exchangers on aa 2.0 and a 1.8? Can you interchange them?

What about the rest of the exhaust system muf ect? Can you use a 1.8 muf and heat exchangers on a 2.0 engine?

If the car still has the fuel injection a 2.0 will have a large air cleaner right on top of the motor. The 1.8 will have a box hooked off to the drivers side of the car. Also the 2.0 heads will have 3 bolts on the intake manifold.

As far as exhaust, i believe it is all interchangable, but the 2.0 exchangers will requrie a different muffler hanger but otherwise should work with each engine.
