  • Long Nose Short Nose question

    I searched and read a bunch of threads, but I'm still a little unsure. Unfortunately, today I found a crack in my block while trying to track down a coolant leak. There is an engine for sale locally from a 90 Festiva and understand these have short nose cranks and my 93 has a long nose. If the 90 engine still has the crank pulley will all my accessories bolt up without modification?

    If you have ac you'll need a short nose ac pullie everything else is the same. But the good thing is the short is easier to find.

      When you say A/C pulley, is there a separate puelley that attaches to the crank for A/C or do you mean the A/C clutch has to be swapped out?

        Yeah he's talking about the separate pulley that attaches to the crank for A/C.

          Excellent. Thanks guys. I've got too much invested in my Festiva to just junk it and I have little desire to put a bigger engine in it. I contacted the guy who has the engine for sale and he installed a BP and says he has full coilovers, big brakes, etc. I asked him if he was on this site and he said once in a great while he'll get on here and told me there was another Festiva guy in town that I didn't know about that has done many swaps himself.
