Hello everyone,
my engine on my 1996 GT has blown, and I´ve got a donor engine out of a 2004 GT, which I want to swap soon.
I´ve some questions about this:
1.) The coolant in the 1996 is the specification ESE M97 B44 A (Ford Premium engine coolant, green), the coolant specification for the 2004 ist the Ford Premium Gold Engine Coolant (WSS M97B51-A1). I´ve seen, that the 2004 had also a green coolant filled at the moment.
Which one should I use now after the swap ?
2.) The water pump in the 2004 is the short variant, in the 1996 it is the long variant. They have also different pulleys.
Can I stay with the 2004 water pump if I use also the 2004 pulley after I´ve changed the timing cover from the 1996 to the 2004 engine ?
3.) Does it matter, that the 2004 donor engine is out of a manual transmission vehicle, but my 1996 is an automatic ? I want to stay with automatic transmission.
The donor engine has no flywheel mounted. I would mount the flex plate from my 1996 to the 2004 engine. Will this work ?
Would be great, if anyone has an answer.
