Charliemuttley Posted February 24, 2006 Report Posted February 24, 2006 Hi, i have a '96 Galaxy Ghia with engine knocking, just done big end shells which had gone, but still bad noise.My question is whether the old Sierra DOHC 8V lump is the same ....... well i've been told it is the same, just don't know whether it has all the required holes drilled and tapped.If not, other ideas on easy(ish) engine change???Cheers guys :D Quote
Goofygolfer Posted February 24, 2006 Report Posted February 24, 2006 same engine but different mountings as galaxy is transverse,im sure its been done tho. have you done a search? Quote
Charliemuttley Posted February 24, 2006 Author Report Posted February 24, 2006 Yeah, came up with nothing. Different mountings yes, but does block have holes for transverse mounts?? :huh: Quote
Goofygolfer Posted February 24, 2006 Report Posted February 24, 2006 im sure the drillings are the same just the mounts differ,one of the knowledgeble ones will chip in in a mo and shoot me down in flames :huh: Quote
