3400 and 5 speed swap
Re: 3400 and 5 speed swap
There is a write up on how to do the swap if you're interested in it. Heavywoody wrote it up. No tuning will be required but I suggest looking at the thread for the obd2 swap and possibly doing both at the same time but it isn't required. I only recommend the obd2 swap so you can better utilize the 3400 that you're running. Also, I hope you are able to weld since that will be required for the swap.

Re: 3400 and 5 speed swap
How are the wheels on the Indy? Computer-wise, the only real issue you will encounter is a little oddity in the idle from time to time, and possibly an occasional stalling when decelerating while in gear. It might also throw a check-engine light at you...
You could possibly help fund your project by selling the Indy spoilers (chin especially and even the rear-deck if they are in good shape) and ground effects (side-skirts and rear-bumper pieces). If it has the digital dash, then saving the instruments, trim surround and controls, under-dash wiring harness and computer as a whole set can also be worth a little bit of money on here. Since Indys were all '90 cars that had the older-style interior, the center-console shift-plate won't fit in your '95, unless you retro-fit the entire older console into your car, but that shift-plate could also be worth something to somebody on here too, as the five-speed cars are getting rare. It would also be nice to save the rarer parts from that Indy before it goes to the scrapper. Just an idea...

Re: 3400 and 5 speed swap
Just spit balling....
-some people have cheated using an auto ecm and harness with the prindle switch still in place correct? To me that would be an ok temporary way to get it back on the road. Though Ive never done it or researched what it entails.
-also technically couldn't you swap in the pedals ahead of time as prep and keep driving it?
I know these arrant the correct ways of going about this but who cares, its just a beretta

Yes, just place the PRNDL in 'D' or your redline is effected, and jumper the large-gauge purple and yellow wires together to get it to start.Godlike wrote:Just spit balling....

And also yes, my 'nice' Fiero GT has three pedals AND an automatic, until I get around to dropping in a manual (probably the rebuilt Muncie 284 I have, since the CV axles are already closer to the correct width for that car, as opposed to most of the 282 five-speed CVs I have, which are shorter, as they all came from Cavaliers or Berettas, except for the one Grand Prix 282 I have -I don't even recall if I pulled the CVs with that one, or where they are if I did...

Re: 3400 and 5 speed swap
Cool, I would be kind of fun doing a swap sequentially like that to break up the down time.
