i can't search, so i was wondering if it would be possible to get a 2k2 engine (3.5) into a 4th gen max(99.5 se-l cali spec).....i will have a brand new 2k2 engine soon was just wondering if it would work, or what i would have to do to make it work, or if anyone has ever tried.....i know it's pretty far fetched, but i'd like some feedback, please dont flame, i'm just curious, i know the likelihood of this is small, but if someone could do it i'd be willing to try....

i am not flaming.. i am just bringing you back to reality

 

Its possible but dont waste the $, just get a SC or a Turbo if you want some power.

 

Ask MardiGras about it.

he might be willing to help.

 

If you can afford to buy the engine you can afford to do the swap. However controlling the VTC's and IM switch over will be interesting. I'm sure the shop that does the swap can handle it.

 

the engine is already on order..........i would think i'd need to swap out the tranny as well or is it possible to do with my 4th gen tranny?

 

I see a swap going here, he already has the engine on order. Cool what part of the country you live in. I am sure someone will help!

i live in pa, but go to school in southwest va....if it's possible anyone who would want to help would be greatly appreciated

 

aren't those just parts?...i'm talking about dropping in a whole other engine

 

bump.........

 

If you want to "drop" in a 2k2 engine, you will have to replace numerous things. The tranny, axles, maybe the hubs/spindles, ECU, harness, maybe the engine mounts and lower support beam, etc etc etc.

 

Yeah but with that money, couldn't you buy the new engine. I mean that would be sweet.

P.S. If you do, go for the 6-speed tranny

 

yous ound like your pretty in tune with what goes into this, have you ever tried or do you know someone who has tried......

 

Search the manual way.
