So this summer I plan on doing a motor swap on my 02'. I've been getting a lot of noise under the hood lately from the timing chain area and some other places that I cant pinpoint, but none the less lots of clatter and my mechanic told me after having the car a few days that I am having some oil pressure problems among a few other things and that the bill would come out to be around $2500-$3000. I have been reading about the motor swap on these cars and have been wanting to do a swap for a while now and think I am finally going to do it.

With that being said, I want to do a 2008 motor swap and was wondering if there are there any .org'ers out there that have done the 08' motor swap that could send me some advice on where to find the motor, how much should the whole thing cost, and any other helpful info.

Thanks

 

Any reason why you're choosing the 2008 and not the 2009?


In any case, here's a 2008 to 2002 swap.
