So after my back hinges broke it made sense that I needed a parts car. I picked up a 1984 wagon with 200k miles and a T4 for cheap. I'd like to put this in my other 1984 wagon which has a tired 998 with reverse failing but only 96k miles! Just looking for general advice or areas of this process to be aware of, general unforeseen hangups or if anyone knows a similar thread on here.
It is sounding like removing the 998 is almost the most difficult part of the process. I also understand there may be some confusion with the crossmember? I don't hate the 998, and I didn't exactly love the T4 either when I drove it home, so I'm considering if this would actually be a better course of action than rebuilding my 998.
In general I am amazed at the differences in trim packages. My good wagon is the sport package and the parts wagon is not. I like the sports package much better. I'm going to get alot of small odds and ends from the parts car and have to part out the rest. My friend went in with me on the eagle and he's taking the motor to complete a matching year number jeep scrambler so I will likely be posting on here if anyone wants a roller from Utah or have to part it out via ebay/forums/craiglist etc.
'd appreciate if you guys could let me know if you think I'd be going down a rabbit hole with this swap or it'd be a pretty straightforward upgrade. thanks in advance
