3.5 engine swap

I have a 99 SE how hard is it to do the 3.5L engine swap. Will it go straight in or do you have to make it fit

If you are too lazy to search and actually do some research yourself, the swap isn't for you, since I'm feeling a little bit nice, I spoon feed you some information

Hey man I see your from Knoxville that cool. I am from Seymour.

But beside that point yea you need to read the link motocross sent.

It is not an easy job requires wiring and everything not your basic swap.

If you scroll to the very bottom of this thread you will see on the right bottom a forum jump which will show you everything the forum has to offer to find out anything about a 3.5 swap go to all motor

Another Ktowner

Check the All-Motor forum for all your researching needs on the 3.5 swap. Hope to do this sometime after the car is painted.

there is a sticky in the all motor section that will let you know the extent of this swap.

Motor mounts will line up, but a lot of work is involved.

Stupid would be coming into the 4th gen forum and posting this thread. Then somebody does you the favor of not flaming you and gives you a link at which time you proceed to insult him.

The point was the swap will take know how and ingenuity. There is no A-Z instruction manual if that is what you're looking for.


PLEASE NO ONE ELSE SPOON FEED THIS GUY!!!!!!!!!!

Nice post, way to thank the guy who helped you out. If you can't search for and find the 9.3 trillion threads already posted about this subject, you can't handle this swap, so don't even bother trying.

I suppose I'll offer some useful advise, go to the all motor forum and read EVERY 3.5 swap thread in there, especially the ones by Jclaw, nismo3112, and tilley, you'll get quite a bit of info from those and see how much work it requires. It will requite many many many hours of research
