Des Posted October 10, 2007 Report Posted October 10, 2007 FE engines have the dizzy at the back of the head which will intrude on the firewall, If you can find a way to get the dizzy to miss it, It will work with no drama's.
LittleRedSpirit Posted October 10, 2007 Report Posted October 10, 2007 Most people use 4ages. There is a reason for this. Perhaps you could read through all the builds and see whats up for a while, before you start.
ae71 csx Posted October 10, 2007 Author Report Posted October 10, 2007 yeah the reason for use'ing a fe is cause i already hav it the loom and the whole car and if the looms were the same between the two then i could just get a ge and use the loom ive got does any one kno how much auto elecs charge to do the wirein on somtin like this jus to get an idea I'm gunna hav a go but if its not that much it will save a shit load of hassles

I have friend who can do it for around the 500 dollar mark. Just depends really on what needs to be done. The fwd loom will need some areas shortened or lengthened to fit neatly. How will you get past the dizzy issue anyhow? Do you realise you will need a surge tank and pump setup in the 71 to make it work? I don't mean to discourage you, I just think you need to do some more research first. Also, please use punctuation and correct spelling and grammar here. No-one really responds to people who don't care enough to clearly and concisely state their ideas or concerns.
ae71 csx Posted October 11, 2007 Author Report Posted October 11, 2007 well to get the dizzy to fit i spose ill hav to re-shape the fire wall. why couldnt i just use the same fuel set up as wats in my ae92. maybe if i can find a 4age ill get it but how much is it for a 4age with loom and ecu I'm guesing 1500 maybe
ae71 csx Posted October 11, 2007 Author Report Posted October 11, 2007 how much difference is there between the fe wireing loom and ge one thats probably a stupid question but ow well thanks again.

Most people who take on this sort of project do a shitload of research first. Decide on engine, decide on chassis, decide on management, decide on diff/drive train combo, decide on fuel system. Weigh it all up against whats legal in your state, then once all your research is done, you can ask us a few questions to fill in the blanks. If you want to know the difference go to the wreckers with a digital camera and take a few photos. Walk back and forth to compare for yourself. No-one is going to answer all your questions, when most of them can be answered with research.
