Thread: Engine Sheet Metal

  1. #1

    Engine Sheet Metal

    Is the engine air/tin/sheet metal interchangeable from a 2.0 L 68 smog (USA) to a 2.0 L 69 S Engine (MFI originally, but will be outfitted w/Webers)? I have drawn a red box around the 8 pieces that my question is aimed.

    It looks like it will all work out, but I would like any feedback if otherwise.

    Thanks again to the experts on the Registry.

    I assume that you are wanting to eliminate the rear original 68 tin section (#27) with the dip in it for the smog pump pulley. I did the same, but I only changed out the rear tin piece with a 67 tin unit and retained all of the other original tin. Sorry, I don't know about the 69 tin section.

    I've got a 68L with smog, a 68S without smog and a 69T without smog - I'm pretty condfident the engine tin is identical between the 68S and the 69T and is interchangeable...

    I agree with gsjohnson that you only need to change the rearmost piece.
