just a quick question. How hard would it be to swap in a euro S engine into my car?? Is it eaiser than an s$ engine or about the same??

John Veninger

How hard? That depends on your desire and skill
Easier than an S4, you'll be using CIS on the S motor and not the L-Jet injection.
There will be wiring changes.

Or buy an 84-85 Euro S intake and use the L-jet like I'm doing.

what kinda performance are you getting out of your car as compared to a euro s car?? what changing to a euro s intake make a differance??

The intake is in a box in my kitchen - the 5.0 shortblock to be installed has not been shipped - my stock US motor is in storage, still in the car.

Ask me again next April.

I put an 84 Euro S in my 1980 ex-turbo car. Engine bolts right in, but combining the Euro S wiring to the 80 wiring is very tricky. Many small details that can get overlooked and cause much

Performance is on par with an S4, but without the anti-lock brakes, suspension, aerodynamics, etc. The early cars are lighter, so this helps.

Forgot to mention, if you plan on using the updated motor mounts, you will need a new crossmember (not hard to do, but neccessary). Too many other little things for me to think of them all right now.

Nothing is too hard at all. Hard? No ... HARD CASH. Really ... both will cost you Worth it though!

does anyone have a euro S engine and the wiring that they would like to sell?? Also, how much more complex are the 84-86 euro S engines compared to the 80-83 euro S engines??
