I have a 92 se and one of the vtc is ticking like crazy. I prefer not to ground it. In order for me to replace 2 vtcs, gaskets and sensors which will run me about a grand, I want to put in another engine.
Can swap a 4th gen. engine like 96-98 with bolt on or little modification? I have not seen a 4th gen engine, but I was told it is the same engine.

 

Me: probably
You: probably not

 

this week is officially swap week...these topics are getting tired VERY fast.

 

3rd gen ve engine

4th gen vq engine


also the wiring, fitment.. you have the cash anything is possible

 

that was one of your best quotes ever Jeff

 

hmmm VE = VQ

yeah they're the same..time to swap


that's a lot of work for some extra torque. if you don't want to do the VTCs and are hell bent on a swap just get a known good VE and be done with it and save some money and hassle...
