3.5 into 01
Can somebody direct me to a thread on how to do a 3.5 swap? I have a 2002 with lots of body issues that was supposed to get a motor and have an opportunity to get a 2001 for dirt cheap with a blown motor. Is there anything that is going to need some modifications? Or can I just swap the front end over? I have a good 3.5 ready to go into a chassis.

Would I have to do any welding to make those modifications? I can still back out of the sale but it wouldn't look so good on my end. I have enough tools and dont mind doing some drilling and harness swaps.

No welding required. 6 speed swap would require a new trans mount that can be bolted on.
You have 2 options.
1: Swap everything over, engine, wiring, ecu, trans, emissions etc. for a full 3.5 swap.
2: Engine swap with 3.0 timing for a hybrid swap.

I'll try searching a little harder. I was having some trouble finding a well documented swap with the keywords I was using. I have one concern though, would I still be able to pass inspection in NY with a new motor? I might be wrong but I feel like the 3.5 PCM wouldn't communicate with the modules in the 3.0 chassis. Im sure that info is on the forums, though.
