I am just about to make the decision to swap a '73 FI 2.0 into my '72. I already have a sideshifter. Is this engine swap as easy as it appears? Just unbolt one and bolt the other in? The 2.0 is a 73 Djet and comes complete. Is the '72 fuel pump still OK? This looks like a no brainer but then that's when I get in trouble.

Bump one time then I'm just going to jump into it.

if the car came originally with a TS tranny the engine bar is different and the engine bar mounts. Also, I think the shifter inside the car is different for the TS tranny. If the fuel pump is the three outlet type, that will work with the 73 injection. Other than that it should bolt right in.

It "should" just be unbolt and bolt in. The 72 fuel pump will work fine. Make sure you're using the 2.0 FI, including the "brain" and MPS.

You said you've already got a side-shifter, I assume that means your car is already converted. If not, then you'll have some extra work. If so, it "should" as I said be a bolt-in.

If already a sideshifter.....you need

nothing

You will lose ~5 hp by using the 1.7 exhaust system though.

unless you have SSI H/Es

Thanks,
The car already has been converted to a SS tranny and the engine comes with 2.0 exhaust and muffler. MPS and all as well.

Again thanks and I'll take a few pics as I go.
