lifting points for d series

[oocus]

gday, where are the best lifting points to remove a d series engine and gearbox?
cheers

there is a place for a 14mm headed bolt on the top right hand corner - near the fuel pressure regulator.
And there is a clip point on the gearbox itself (gold metal bracket in and around below the distributor area) - place for a U clip or similar to use a chain to lift.

thanks again, engine out. now the hard part. dont know what im doing with wiring etc. trying to put d16y4 out of ek1 into eg8 that hed d15z1.

are both engines obd1?

it should be plug and play (except for vtec)

[oocus]

gday, i think 16y4 is obd2, d15z1 is obd1 ?????????????? i am learning as i go, normally play with ford v8s. this is all new to me. and i need my car going, only rego 1 day before engine trouble. any help is greatly appreciated. is obd on-board diagnostic?

[TheSaint]

im not sure what it stands for but it effects all the plugs and harness type - if the engines are different obd than you will have to change over all the wiring as well
the y4 isnt vtec so im not sure if ECU will be an issue - P28 is a good ECU for non vtec stuff but it will show up a vtec CEL light

gday, how much of the wiring do i have to change? can i get an adapter? ihave the complete car from where the y4 came so i have all the parts.

wait a second - was the D15z1 carby or efi? my EG8 has a D15b7 in it and its EFI

if it was originally carby u will need to do a full EFI conversion on the car as well
