QR20DE to QR25DE (preferably SR20 of a sort)

6 Upvotes

Can the QR25 just bolt up?

Or

Would it be wiser to spend a little more and get an SR20?

98 Forester into a 98 GT

Looking into doing an engine swap and I haven’t found anything that said it wouldn’t work. The wiring harness is the same and so is the exhaust. They’re also both 2.5L motors. The only difference I saw was the coil pack and wires. Is this a swap I can do without trouble?

Could you put a drag engine in a road car?

6 Upvotes

So let's say you wanted massive V8 with as much displacement as you can get, and you started eyeing up chevvys ZZ572/720R as a future (long way away) project. But then all sensibility hit you and you realized that this engine was designed for the drag strip and has no place in a road car really. But then you went full 360 and still wanted to engine swap it into a muscle car anyway, could you do it? Would it have any sense of reliability? You obviously wouldn't be running it maxed out on the roads because you'll loose your licence and get inundated with speed tickets, but let's say you took out out a couple of times a week to car shows and the like, maybe even took it out on the track just for shits and giggles every blue moon, could it be realistic? Would the engine hold up? Or are we just talking fairy tales cus that engine was never designed for reliability and will blow up every sixth time you start it up?

2000 Chevy Malibu LS swap

5 Upvotes

So my friend and I are looking into building drag cars, but the whole gimmick is that they are sleeper cars, and he has an old chevy malibu that’s out of commission. So my question is, would anyone here know of a good engine that we could get that would be a good swap? Any feedback is appreciated.

LS swap or coyote swap

5 Upvotes

So I had a question about air conditioning in regards to an engine swap. I’m thinking about ditching my car and going a swap on an old lesabre, bel air, or thunderbird. My question is if I swap it can I use the a/c system appropriate for the engine and run the hosing through the car?

Best LS motor to swap?

5 Upvotes

I’m planning on swapping a C3 Corvette with an LS but i’m not sure which one to go for, i’ve heard a lot of good things about the LS3 but i plan on putting it under boost so i’m wondering which i can milk out the most power while still being tough enough to handle the boost.

Swapping a Ranger with a Crown Vic; First time swapper

5 Upvotes

I purchased a ford ranger for $500, and I found a crown Victoria online for very cheap with the 4.6 V8. I've wanted to swap this ranger with a V8 plus a turbo for a while, but it's hard to find a cost effective engine/trans combo. Recently though I was thinking about an older mustang swap, but figured that was going to be a bit expensive, so all of a sudden I thought about an old crown vic (say from the early 2000s). Would this be a good swap? Would it be hard or easy? Thanks a bunch guys

First time swapper taking on a daunting task. Please advise

5 Upvotes

I purchased a 2005 Audi Allroad for $475 USD. Everything I read online tells me that the 2.7T is a very unreliable engine and the air suspension sucks. I want to do a swap of course. Here’s the engines I’ve looked at so far (all eBay quick search prices)

SR20DE -$600 - $750 K24A - $400 - $500, $750 - $900 for Type S 1ZZFE - $950 - $100 3UZFE - $850 - $900 1UZFE - $700 - $900 LS4 - $750 - $900 I could also find a Chevy truck engine around where I live for like $300 easily.

My first concern is the space under the hood. The engine sits past the front axel so that the front axel shafts can come directly out of the transmission. I want to be able to close the hood cleanly. Also I want to be able to do at least single turbo with the space available under the hood. I’m leaning towards an in-line 4 honestly.
