searchable index of junkyard databases.. pretty good selection, but good luck finding a VE near you..

make sure you get an engine that matches your tranny too...

but NO, a VQ won't fit.. the mounting points are completely different, let alone the computer and harnesses, and other details like that.

Yeah, with enough money she could get a car that actually had the VQ in it as standard equipment.

Yea, but she would also be stuck with the rear beam axle and bubble butt as standard equipment
