#200 of 471 5.0 into rancho by tcm4 Jun 11, 2006 (8:57 am)
I'm getting ready to stab a 1990 302&AOD out of a mustang into a 1970 ranchero. Any good tricks of the trade you would like to share on this one. I would like to use the wire harness out of the mustang instead of the after market one.

Replying to: toyboy7 (Jul 13, 2006 10:51 am) what model celica do you have? The V6 in the '90 camry only puts out 156 hp/160 lb-ft. Not exactly "beastly," especially when you'll be adding weight to the nose of your car. If you have a GT or GTS, then you are already better off than if you swap in the heavier V6. If you have an ST, then I suggest looking for a GT/GTS.

I have a question about o2 sensors. I'm trying to put a fuel injected motor into my boat and was wondering how i can trick the computer into thinking there are still some o2 sensors at work. Do i need to go through the problem of doing this?? I'm open to any suggestions. Thankyou

Hey. I have a '92 Toyota Corolla 4dr sedan with a 3 spd auto. I just did something serious to the engine, not sure what yet, but I figure on replacing it so I was just wondering if there were any engine swaps for my car that would give me more than my original 102hp and how hard it would be to put in a manual tranny

I have a 1992 toyota paseo with a tiny 1.5L motor and I want to upgrade to a little bit larger engine like a toyota celica 2.2L or if possible 2.0L turbo. I want to keep it simple if possible. What advise can you give me about a good engine with some good power? Replies to this message: bumpy (Aug 31, 2006 12:27 pm)
#208 of 471 Mercedes 240D engine swap by 240downer Aug 31, 2006 (8:20 am)
I'm looking for information about installing a 300D engine into a 240 D body. My 1980 240D just ate the #2 cylinder and I thought this might be a good opportunity to get a bit more power from my vehicle. The body of the 240 is in excellent condition and best of all, it has a manual transmission. Will the 300 bolt up to the transmission? Can I use the same flywheel from the 240? Will I need to go to heavier front springs due to the extra weight of the 300? Would I be able to use the turbo diesel engine or non-turbo? Conversely, could I install the manual transmission and fllywheel from the 240D into a 300D? I have an opportunity to purchase either a 300TD or a 300D. This would be much less labor if the swap is possible. Is there someone out there with experience in this matter? I have plenty of expertise is working on vehicles (was an aircraft mechanic, also ran a fleet of 40 vehicles) so I'm not afraid to try something new. Thank you. 240downer

Replying to: chrissmith19 (Aug 23, 2006 5:08 am) There is absolutely no reason to do that. The engine in the 4-cylinder Tibby is essentially a mirror-image version of a 4g63 already, so everything would be backwards, none of the engine or transmission mounts will line up right, and you won't gain anything from the swap. Get a super or turbo kit for the Tibby and have fun with that.
