internetautomar is this enuff pic for you

awesome!
Is it running yet? :)

:eek: Wow.. Great Work!
Please do share the journey.. ;)
Any major issues you ran into during the swap?

wow that's beautiful! Lets us know how it runs. Enjoy it

yes it is and is and man this thing pulls and the ve mottot off the back was so much heavier than the dek that it made the car sit higher in the front bc of the weight loss

yes they were some issues but not omg it cant be done or worked around

nice job! how long have you been working on this? and ooh nice jacket....(j/k)

it was a summer project, 2 to 3 month

Good job, looks good and I bet it feels that way under your foot too! :doublethu

damm how much did the motor and trans alone cost u????

It's hard to find these peices, eh? Most are still tryin to break 150k miles on these engines/trannies I'd bet.

motor-650, tran 75 thanx to matty the S/C plate maker

man i went throw hell for some these part but i work everthing out i been drive this daily for a while too i'm loving it damn this thing move

yup :bowdown:

so why hadn't you mentioned this before?

Can you provide a write-up?? You had a trans plate made? Are you 5-speed or auto? How much in parts, mounts, and all the other little things cost?

Awesome, did you do it yourself?

Thanks for posting pics.

him and I spent a lot of time researching this and also along with are talented mechanic . desil was able to stop the doubt that this couldn't be done and also that we wanted prove the doubters wrong

cuz i know no one will believe so i waited tell the time was right (i got camera for x-mas lol )

thanx bro you tell them

so you going to give us more details?

maybe , maybe not , what do you want to know ?

damnit, my machine just took a crap, too many details










I stand by VE > * though

me, I'd just ask out of curiosity.
no way I'd put that kind of time into a max.
I've got another car to put $$ into

Are you going to get rid of the ABS in order to run the S/C?

i dont kno if i want put it in but yea i will have to take out the abs to have enuff room for it . but an turbo is perfect for this set up becuz the olds VE motor was bigger and heavier then DEK so now i got lots of room but i dont need any of those now i like my current set up n/a monsta

honestly iam more than please with the outcome of the power that car produces and the amount of torque it puts out. the car hasn't been dynoed yet thou but I am surprised that this wasn't tried long ago but after the long and tired research its done and we are happy with the results.

wait, your saying a Turbo is better for an open deck aluminum block?





I thought about putting a VQ35 in mine for about 3 seconds, then decided to sell my car :lol:


still, nice job, I can appreciate the work. I'd be nice to see pics of the mounting and such though.

go by the room from the motor it will be better to put a turbo becuz i dont think the s/c will fit in by the abs and i not takin it out

thats the coolest thing ive ever seen. im glad someone FINALLY did a motor swap into a 3rd gen. All thats left is stuffing a 3.5 in hu ? ill wet my pants when i see that one.

All I want to know is are you gonna supply more info to this swap. I can obtain a shell quite easy up here to have as a spring project.

if you want info on the swap pm question I will answer

congrats man, awesome...just awesome.

Looks good. A round of applause all around for getting this done.

One thing I would like to say part of the reason behind this forum is to help each other out. When someone does something new, useful or figures out a modification they use this forum to share with others, not to say "maybe or maybe not" on helping others.

Unless you plan on patenting this process and doing every swap yourself, it would be appreciated that you take some time to do a write up so that others may be helped along the way. Eventually, others will add things they learn and the whole process might be simplified. This could be something that more people are able to do (with your help), much like the 3.5L into the 4th gen swap that is becoming much more common.

yes your right when my lazy a$$ get to it , i will make it

where are the belts on that motor?

that must of been a hell of a time wiring that stuff... i had a hell of a time swapping in my VE motor into a VG car... props man! ohh and how does that power f eel??????? and please tell me it is the 6 speed tranny :rolling_e

Props on t3h swap! <- Made that up, do not copy please.

great work cant wait to read more
the potential for the 3rd gen just took a large leap
