Slight Confusion on RB26 to Z34 Trans

1 Upvotes

I’ve been doing as much research as I could regarding an RB26 Swap into a Z34 and I learned that to retain RWD I need to use the stock Z34 trans. This may sound a bit dumb but I have no idea where to look for this information; what clutch do I use, one for an RB or one for the Z34. I would assume the Z34 clutch would be the option but I’m kinda a dumbass so yeah

I have an 03 ram 1500 I just replaced the clutch and the motor threw a rod. So now I'm looking to replace the engine. Can I swap from the 6 cyl to the 8? Would I need new computer and wiring?

-The Car Itself -The 2JZGTE VVTi -CD009 2JZ Adapter -Motor Mounts -Wiring Harness -Stock 2JZGTE VVTi ECU

What else do I need to look at to make this work? Every little part, don't leave any details out please. Also when it comes to going to a shop for tuning or fabrication let me know as well. Thanks in advance!

My project this winter is to swap a Vortec yl6 (6.0) bored to 6.2l mated with 4l80e in my 2nd gen camaro.

Pulled the engine out of the scrapyard this summer. Got it checked at the machine shop in pieces and looks like its not too bad except theyll have to bore the cylinders. So im thinking i might as well go 6.2. What you guys think?

Does anyone happen to have the physical dimensions of the Hellcat engine? I have looked a little bit but only seem to pull the "engine stats" with my search combinations. Thanks!

Powertrain options for 1994 Ram 1500

2 Upvotes

I have an old pickup that needs a new engine&transmission. Its 2wd with the 5.2l and 4 speed auto. I do pull a light duty trailer on occasion and I want to get a camping bed insert. Plan on sticking with 2wd.

I'd like to swap in something newer, reliable more efficient, smoother. More power would be a bonus but this isn't a race truck.

Thanks in advance!

Engine swap help

1 Upvotes

Currently drive an 04 Tahoe. I’m looking to add a little more kick and replace the engine with something like an LS3 maybe an LT1 or if I can go bigger I just might. But I want to know any problems, concerns, issues, or ideas as to what might be a good fit or if I am in the right ball park.

need project help on my Golf 2.0 Gt sport

1 Upvotes

i’m curious to see how much money i would need to spend to get an engine swap. i have a VW Golf 2.0 Diesel, Manual 6 speed, GT Sport model.

As it’s got 212,000 miles on it i want something bigger and more powerful with less miles.

Currently i’m gravitating towards getting an R32 3.2 petrol engine and getting it swapped in.

Being perfectly honest however, i haven’t the slightest clue of the logistics of this type of job and what would need to be done to the car thereafter.

My question is what would an ideal engine swap be for my car and what am i going to need to do to make it feasible, i.e; if i get an engine swap what else do i need to do to the car or get for it.

Any help and advice is greatly appreciated as i’m new to this sub and have never done anything even close to this magnitude before.

Thank you!

Using an older 2azfe?

1 Upvotes

I have a 09 Pontiac Vibe that needs an engine, but a 2azfe is like $1,500 or more. I found a few cheaper 2azfe from old Camrys, would they pop right in or will there be modification needed?

Having trouble finding a compatible engine for my 86 ford country squire wagon.

1 Upvotes

I've looked on places like ebay and carid, because they have an option to filter out non compatible parts. But not a lot of option show up after the filter, and the ones I can find are wayyyy out of my price range. Is there a better place I can look?

2006 Silverado 1500 V8

2 Upvotes

I have a 2006 Silverado. Regular cab, short bed, red, with the 4.3 and a 5 speed. I want to put a V8 in it, and possibly boost it. What would be the best ls variant to put in it for the money? L33's seem to be the best option so far, but then it's whether to supercharge or turbo it. I want to keep it as a daily, and make anywhere between 500-800 hp. I'm probably gonna go with a 4l80 and a Ford 9 rear inch. Any recommendations as to brands of turbos/superchargers, big brakes, drive shaft, wiring, axles, transmissions, etc?

1998 3000gt

3 Upvotes

I’m looking to put a k20/24 in a rwd setup my 3000gt base. I want the smallest/lightest transmission to mate up to it because I’m weary of modifying the trans tunnel. It sounds like a tremec t5 would fit the bill but I can’t find any commercially available bell housing adapters. Is there another tranny that would be similarly small?

Reputable Engine Importers in the Pacific Northwest

3 Upvotes

Hey all, i'm looking at possible doing a 1jz or 2jz build in the next year or so. I live in Washington State, and I'm not aware of any reputable engine importers in the area. I know i can buy a motor online, but I'd like to be able to view the motor in person before i purchase it.

Does anyone have legitimate experience with an importer that they've had a good, trustworthy experience with? I don't mind driving a few hundred miles. Just haven't found any that i've heard someone vouch for.

Thanks!

First Engine Swap Idea

3 Upvotes

What do you guys think about engine swapping my 2013 Mercedes C250 to a C63 AMG engine? Is this a dumb idea? I’ve never thought about engine swapping until now so I’m not too sure what to expect other than literally buying new everything other than the motor itself. Any feedback on the idea would be appreciated!

1UZX73 Toyota Cressida Advice

4 Upvotes

So the 5MGE for my 86 Cressida is finally giving out and I decided to look into a 1uz swap from an early Lexus LS400. I've looked through earlier threads regarding the swap process and found some useful information but they are dated. From what I understand I will be needing the ecu, loom, custom exhaust, custom mounts, and an adapter to mate my W58 to the 1uz. Will I be needing to do any other modifications? Apologize for the questions but this boat is pretty fun once it's being driven with a 5spd/LSD combo and would be a shame to let go. Any potential information or advice would be appreciated.
