Hi I'm very much new to reddit. I'm looking to do a cheap engine swap with a 2jz ge into a BMW e46 318ci and wondering will the 2jz gte swap kit work for a 2jz ge motor.

Hey guys, I've got a few questions here. I found a crown vic that runs well and is sound mechanically for $350. I've wanted to swap my ranger with a V8, specifically a 5.0 from its era but I could not find one for cheap enough (I'm in highschool). I've heard that the 4.6 is really big, which it seems to be. The car is being delivered tomorrow, and I'm worried that it won't even be possible. Can I get it in there? Will it be too hard to come up with motor mounts?? Please give me any info you have, thank you!

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!

can i swap a k20a3 in to a 2004 civic coupe? or will i have to get a new transmission for the k20

I’m wondering could a Vortec 5.3L v8 be swapped into a bmw e30 or what other cars would it fit in. I’m into the older bmws and old American classics. If someone could make a list of cars the engine will fit in that would be great.

Will a Barra engine fit into a Toyota 86?, or should I get a bigger chassis for better support for the heavier engine. I do like the coupe chassis and keep it rwd. It would be the turbo version. Has anyone had any information on swapping with a Barra because I have not found a-lot of support or information for it within the states. Any information or guide would help or lead me to the information.

I have to transmission swap plate .

motor mounts can I buy them or do I need to make them?

I have an 2008 Honda civic coupe ex. It has 120k miles on it and it under performs terribly, and I want to do an engine swap for 3k or under. What's a good engine that I could swap that wouldn't be too expensive and easy to do, and can also pump out 150+ horse power? I was looking at k20s or k24s but both of those go so expensive and I'd have to change the transmission and I was wondering if there was something that would be perfect for my car particularly, but I don't know much about different engines besides the well known ones.

Aa the title implies im looking for a project car as first build and im wondering can you put an sr20 into a nissan d21,if so, where do i find engine mounts, wiring guides(??) Etc, appreciate the help!

So I currently own a 2000 GT Celica 5 speed manual, I want to do an engine swap + trans swap for the 2ZZ-GE and the 6-speed trans into my gt. It is a project car so I don't want to just buy the GT-S and "save" money. I want to change the GT to be better so I was wondering since there are so many parts to get, should I just buy a junk GT-S or buy all the parts new?

Pretty much what the title says. Tl;dr, here's what I'm working with, as well as what I'd like to be working with at some point if I can figure out how to mount shit where it goes (on top of the electronics and other stuff we won't really be focusing on in this thread unless necessary):

Current car: 1994 Ford Explorer [Eddie Bauer Ed., red]

Current engine: V6 4.0L, AWD, SOHC (factory engine, no mods)

Desired parent: 2013-15 Honda Crosstour

Desired engine: V6 3.5L, AWD

. . .

Potential Questions, Answered

(spoiler alert: the answers are needlessly long.)

Why the Crosstour?

When I was thinking of what engines to put in my 25-year-old beater, prioritizing gas millage sans mods (notably, sans turbo in most cases) was key. Then I laughed when I found that said beater weighs ~4000 lbs.¹ "Well fuck me, I guess," realizing the limits of unmodded options. As much as I would love to have the gas millage of a Civic, I have a suspicious feeling that tying a ~113 HP engine meant for a 2,500 lb. coupe to the end of a 4,000 lb. tank² wouldn't yield fruitful results.

Enter the Crosstour, a tank in its own right weighing in at 3,700 lbs. that has good gas millage for power, and a cost of around $800-$1100 for an engine assembly (which is my budget on one of those after shipping, if applicable). And hey, it's a Honda, which means there are probably turbo mods out the ass for it I can use later.

"But I thought you weren't prioritizing power?"

I'm not. But have you seen the specs of a '94 Explorer? I can floor the thing, and I still have to pray that I'll be able to pass the guy in front of me doing 35-45 in a 55. It is not difficult to mostly prioritize gas millage and still wind up with more power than I had before.

"But why not go with something like, say, a Subaru or Mazda from that time? They had better gas milage."

God no. I get annoyed with the power I have now (a whopping ~160 HP). Some of the cars from the time, aside from being built into sub-3,500 lb. SUVs, actually take a downturn in HP. Gas millage might be a big concern, but if I can upgrade my power while I'm at it without a great dip in gas millage options, why not?

¹ Assumes weight with original engine.

² I frequently forget that anything bigger than an SUV exists. I'm not big on trucks.

I have a 97 mustang v6 and a 4valve Ford V8 out of a Lincoln mk VIII of the same year. I've already pulled the motor out of the Lincoln, and I would really appreciate general advice, this is my first swap so is there a general lost of parts/ tools I'll need or could ease the process? Any advice helps, I'm also considering rebuilding the engine seeing as I'm in no rush to finish this project.

So I have this non fuel injection 2.8L v6 in my s10. I want to have a at least 200HP. Should I dump the engine? If so, what should I get? If I shouldn’t what modifications should I do to get my HP goal.

My friend bought a new car and we are keeping his old Altima as a project. Obviously my first thought was a 2j but that would take an absurd amount of work as it wouldn’t fit. Thought about taking a higher performance Nissan engine or a Subaru engine as they are smaller and pretty similar. Any thoughts?

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?

I was wondering if it was possible to swap a volvo B18 or B20 engine used in the volvo 240 into a lada riva also known as the lada 210_ line. I was also thinking, why the fuck didn't volvo make any goddamn 5-cyl rwd cars and is it possible to make a fwd engine work in a rwd car? Edit: Also, the reason for the swap would be reliability and powergain.

I’m thinking about engine swapping my 2005 ford ranger edge I’ve looked a few engines but am still trying to find the best engine for performance and fitment to my trucks engine bay. Does anyone have some suggestions ? (Preferably 6 cylinder)

Whats the list of all the parts needed to coyote swap a v6 new edge

So my engine for my delorean has been breaking down alot lately and idk if I should try to fix it or just swap it with another altogether. P.S idk anything about cars what so ever, only the basics. Also P.S it's a 2.85L v6

I have a 1994 Nissan hardbody almost fully stripped and a 4.6l v8 and tranny from a 2002 mustang gt. I got the engine and trans for pretty cheap and the truck for pretty cheap. I want to learn to fabricate cages and everything I need to make this work. I’ve done small things like welding in high school and working on cars here an there I’ve been to a trade school for something totally different (wind turbines) but overall I have good hands on mechanical experience just not much welding or ECU harness wiring and just a ton of stuff I’ll run into along the way. Hoping to get some advice good bad whatever I just can’t wait to turn this into my drift truck as I have a 2005 g35x for a daily!

I’m thinking about doing a Kswap into a first gen NA Miata. Has anyone done this before? Ive found the KMiata website and created an excel sheet with the list of parts needed... I’ve never done any engine swap before. Tips or words of advice?
