Is there anything that needs to be changed when installing an engine that used to have an automatic tranny, into a car that has a manual ? Apart from the obvious, clutch etc. The only thing I can see is a blue 3 prong connector on the front of the engine, below the exhaust manifold, that on the older engine had a bolt and washer in the same place. Also the older engine had a map sensor with the applicable wiring harness, and the newer engine had no sensor . I changed the air intake housing from old engine to new to allow the sensor to be connected. I would appreciate any advice.

 

Not for that particular engine or most D and B-series engines for that matter.

Thats a block heater, they were optional equipement, they're nice to have if you happen to live in a cold climate.

'92 - '93 D15B7s used a firwall mounted MAP sensor, '94 - '95 models used a throttlebody mounted MAP sensor, retain your original throttlebody and wiring harness and you will not have any issues.

 

Thanks for the info, it was very helpful and has cured some of my worries.
