Cadillac Jim Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 I suggest that you look on eBay for a factory service manual for the 1994 model year. I did a search on "Cadillac service manual 1994" and turned up several in the $20 price range. -- Click Here for CaddyInfo page on "How To" Read Your OBD Codes-- Click Here for my personal page to download my OBD code list as an Excel file, plus other Cadillac data -- See my CaddyInfo car blogs: 2011 CTS-V, 1997 ETC Yes, I was Jims_97_ETC before I changed cars.

KHE Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 You need to make sure the engine code from the donor car is the same as the receiver car. Both cars should either be the VIN Y (270 HP) or the VIN 9 (295 HP) for that year. As long as the codes are the same, the engines will swap. Personally, I would lift the front of the body off the powertrain and transfer the entire powertrain (engine, trans, subframe)to the "new" body. I've pulled just the engine out the top and there are a lot of fasteners that are in awkward angles that are a PITA to access. With the entire powertrain removed, those fasteners would not be a problem.
