What is this discussion about? Engine

This forum is to ask questions or enjoy bragging rights about swapping out your stock engine for a more powerful one, be it the same make or from another make of car. This forum is NOT for descriptions of replacing same with same merely to replace a blown up motor. Use the Maintenance & Repair Board for that kind of swap.

#422 of 471 What can be done to a 85 escort by james80 Nov 05, 2007 (2:38 pm)
I have an old 85 escort. But im more into the Import scene. I was thinking of dropping a larger more powerful motor into it. I was thinking a Subaru Impreza motor or even better a Evo 8 motor. But would it fit and what else would e have to do for it to be compatibal. Replies to this message: paisan (Nov 05, 2007 6:14 pm)

Replying to: james80 (Nov 05, 2007 2:38 pm) I wouldn't suggest it. An impreza motor is longitudial so it wouldn't go in at all. You might get an evo motor in but it would cost many many thousands of dollars to do it. -mike

Replying to: v8rodeoguy1 (Jul 11, 2007 4:41 pm) Hey I'm about 80% finished with a Rodeo V8 swap. What kind of problems have others run into. Replies to this message: paisan (Nov 26, 2007 5:43 pm)

Replying to: 472caddy (Nov 26, 2007 5:31 pm) Hmm, digging deep into my memory, I think the biggest issue was the adapters for the trans/transfer case. -mike
#426 of 471 sentra engine swap by bmfan1 Dec 04, 2007 (8:29 am)
I might be getting a 2006 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec-V, and was wondering if a RB26DETT (or lesser variant) could fit into the engine bay without (very) serious modification.

Replying to: bmfan1 (Dec 04, 2007 8:29 am) not a chance. Well, I don't know if the engine will physically fit. It might. But it will never work in that car because it is a longitudinally mounted I6. Your car is a FWD vehicle, meaning it needs a transverse mounted engine. I'm not sure why you'd want to mod a 2-year-old top-of-the-line nissan pocket rocket anyway. ???

Replying to: qbrozen (Dec 05, 2007 6:36 am) Yeah the best you could do would be a DE24T (Silvia Motor) into that car, but as qbrozen said, you probably are better off doing some mods to the Spec V. Heck I'm looking for a Spec V as a commuter car as we speak -mike Replies to this message: qbrozen (Dec 07, 2007 11:17 am) bmfan1 (Dec 08, 2007 6:07 am)

Replying to: paisan (Dec 05, 2007 6:44 pm) they were selling for dirt cheap on the new side toward the end of each model year. Good buy, i think. i realize now i misspoke in my last post. I said I don't know why you'd want to mod the car, but what I meant was I don't know why you'd want to replace the engine. Mods, of course, are always welcome.

#431 of 471 Help Please!!!! 77Olds Cutlass to 96 Impala SS LT1? by phil45 Dec 24, 2007 (12:54 pm)
Bottom line........ Is it possible to put a 96 Impala SS engine in my 77 Olds Cutlass Supreme? Both are 350's, I want to go from the olds carbed 350 to the impala fuel injected 350 for easy performances mods, better fuel economy, updating, and to make a good everyday driver as well. How hard would this be? Any other mods have to be made? Replies to this message: paisan (Dec 25, 2007 8:34 am) screwynoodle (Jan 06, 2008 7:16 am)
