Hi guys, Question which someone may know the answer to... Considering replacing the 186 in my EJ with a 202 Black I am thinking about buying. Weighing up the various costs associated with the changeover, and curious whether (1)the extractors I have on my a 186 bolt up to the 202 long motor'. The long has me worried... and (2) WOuld the engine mount points be the same? To be honest, I have no idea whether the 'long' bit refers to the stroke or engine length! Any insight appreciated! Cheers, Paul. Edited by user Friday, 26 October 2007 4:41:04 AM(UTC)

They wont fit easily...if they are ported heavily and pushed into position you can get them to fit...but they can leak because they dont sit naturally in the correct position...I have done it but would never do it again.
And just looking at the blue bl

Headers wont interchange between red and black sixs. The other issue that you will run into is that legally if you put a black engine in then your car will have to comply with 1984/85 emissions regulations.
You would be better off finding a red 202 |

Thanks Jim. Yes... the cost of fitting an efi seems to go on and on! May look at a 202 black, or just enjoy my 186! Thanks for the info mate.
Cheers, Paul.
