Distributor 2.9 swap to 2.8 coil pack.

[HaydEn]

Hi guys, I'm taking a shot on this and seeing if you guys have any info.

From what I've seen on the tex is that.

I'll need:

Upper timing cover
Cam sensor trigger (mounted to rear cam on top of cam gear)
Cam sensor
Coilpack and bolts.
ECU for OBDI coilpack
Engine harness

Things I'm not 100% on:
ECU harness.
MAF - early OBDI VR6's had the hot wire, then they went to thin film (still OBDI)

Basically all those things. Now, what I'm wanting to do is put a distributor-ed 2.9 into my coilpacked 2.8. Now by having that list is it simply as straight forward as swapping it all over?

Or could I put my 2.8 head onto the 2.9 block and avoid all of these problems?

P.s mods move if they feel it will get better responses elsewhere.


Thanks Hayden.

i believe the head will bolt up check vertex then you will know for sure

Swooping the head is quite complex and costly on a vr6
