92 & 94 DOHC Compatibility?

[Stegmann]

Hi all,

I have a DOHC from a 92 3000GT SL sitting in my garage. I would like to begin a tt conversion on it eventually.

The problem is, my car is a 94 3000GT SL. I know a major difference between the 92 and 94 cars is the 94 cars have the hybrid diagnostics system.

The 92 engine is basically a drop in; all it is missing is the A/C compressor and flywheel. The intake plenum & sensors & all the ports for the engine harness are still intact.

Is anybody aware of the incompatibilities between the 92 and 94 cars in the sense of a drop-in engine? I wish it could be a straight drop-in, but the diagnostic system differences gives me the feeling that this might not be the case.

Let me check what I did before, but I have done an engine swap with 92 NA into a 94 NA. There were a couple of sensor differences.

That would be awesome, thanks!

92 - no crankshaft sensor
92 & 94 - camshaft sensor should be the same, but check.
92 oil pump different than 94

So you are saying I will have to transplant the camshaft sensor from my current engine to the 92 engine? So after that, everything will hook up the same, peachy keen?
