2.2 to 2.5 swap

[24kilo]

I'm getting a 2.5 tall block,I have a 85 2.2 with a413 trans. Will the old torque con work or will I have to change it, and If I have to change it will the other torque con work with the 85 trans?

the entire front pump assembly needs to get changed too. u cant use the newer torque on the older trans and u cant use the older torque on the newer motor

I have good transmissions that will work for you, if you want to go that route.

Ok, new development, I have the new TC and trans, what do I need to swap to my smaller hubs? I'll have both trannys so can I swap the diffs or do I have to make bastard shafts to go from big spline to small.

man u just wanna screw around dontcha? how about u take them apart and swap all the parts u need. but u can use a 86 or 87 413 no lockup an u got the smaller shafts.

The answer is in the reply, just pull your small differential and install it into the trans will the big shafts and use the seal housings from the small shafts. And swap ring gears, what's so hard about trying that? But I usually go the other way with the bigger shafts. They've proven a lot stronger in racing applications.

thanks, The reason I'm going this way is it's hard to find the hubs and shafts for omni around here plus I have a set of really nice 4 lug pizza's setting in the garage.

u use the big shafts from a 88-90 omni auto.

It was understanding that if I went with those shafts that I had to change hubs also.

No, you don't have to change hubs.
