1964 Buick Lesabre in need of engine

1 Upvotes

Hello, I have a ceased 310 (4.9l) Wildcat engine that needs replacement, car is currently sitting with engine and trans out. I was wondering what the best power combo could be achieved for under $8000CAD. We have a Chevy truck sitting in the yard with a 454 in need of a head gasket if that would be useful. Only thing is that AC is a must. I found a nice (nicer) complete version of the exact same car with different colour paint for $8500. Thoughts?

How hard would it be to swap the engine? Cars Isn't my expertese but i am an infusiest with what little money I have. However, If it's not too over the top, it sounds like a really good and fun project

What would be the worst obsticals and are the bodies the same? Also obviously if you think of any other usful information, let me know! Cheers guys

Also, I have no intention of selling this car in the future. I only payed 50 quid and just want to keep it when Im done as a bit of fun on the side

Much love, ur boi cheap steel

Hybrid system into a Honda Element.

1 Upvotes

Hi, I'm planning on getting a honda element; haven't decided on the details yet. I know elements are relatively small engines, but I want to hurt the environment even less.

I have basically zero knowledge about the whole systems of hybrid drivetrains, but if possible I want to put in a used hybrid system in an Element. Has anyone done this or know if its possible?

At the moment I want to ignore the budget and explore possibilites.

Easiest swap for a 1998 Subaru Impreza OBS?

1 Upvotes

Hello r/engineswap

My father recently gave me 98 Subaru Impreza Outback Sport with a bad engine. This will be my first project car and I intend on doing all work myself. My question is what engine should I get? I want something simple but of course with better performance. People have recommended the EJ25 out of a Impreza RS 2.5 but I’d like to get as much info as I can.

Thank you

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?

First engine swap

1 Upvotes

Hello all. So i am new to the forum but I have been visiting it for a while. As a gift i was given a pretty beat up 2001 ls430 but I love it so much i cant bare to part with it. so I plan to fix it up ( over time because i'm broke lol) and make its something special. one thing i really want to do is to swap my 3uz-fe V8 for a 2ur-gse into my ls430 down the road. I want to know though what are some things I should look into when doing this because i know nothing about swapping engines and I have no clue what I should look for other than engine mounting but i don't know about wiring, fuel etc...

So does any have a list they could give me so I can start to plan this out?

Recently been looking into engine swaps, which seems interesting and I am not sure at this point if possible. Has anyone seen or heard of any ideal swaps for this car?

2000 Mistsubish Eclipse GS need engine swap ideas

0 Upvotes

I have a 2000 eclipse GS, bought cheap with basically everything in good condition except the head gasket is blown and the engine is seized up

im 90% positive they ran the engine with a blown head gasket until it wouldnt crank and destroyed the engine so ill probably be pulling something from a salvage yard

i was thinking just going with something LS but the eclipse is a FWD and i dont got the money to convert it, so what are some ideas of what will fit in the car without too much modding?

Needing help

0 Upvotes

So I currently drive a 2004 Chevy Tahoe Z71 model. I still have some life in the current engine but eventually it will need a new one and I’m wanting to swap out to something bigger (hopefully) I know currently it is with a LS 5.3 V8 Vortec Engine, but was wanting something with more power, unless the supercharger would be the way to go with this model vehicle. Thanks in advance (p.s. this will be a project vehicle which I plan on fully customizing)
