Post engine replacement

I have a 84 and have a quesion regarding engine replacement. Could you drop in a 32v from a 85 with the brain and harness? Are we talking a simple replacement or would the exhaust and other things also have to be replaced?
Thanks for you help

You need to contact Devek or 928 International for this kind of info.

See my website for links for 928 information.

You might have to try it to find out. At one point (before 928 international was really up and going) Mark Anderson dropped a 32V motor (S4, I think) into his early race car ('79 euro?), so he might have some hints. I put a late 16V motor on a early 16V chassis and had a bunch of exhaust problems; Mounts in the wrong position, interference with a cross brace, etc. You might plan on similar issues for your swap.

928Driver,

Nice site, but the most annoying barrage of pop-ups, pop-unders & adware installation windows I have ever seen. The last one was particularly annoying; it kept spawning other windows and there was no means of exiting it without killing the process.
