Re: Engine Swap! NEED HELP FAST!
It should go in just fine as far as the motor goes. I Believe that the 6-cyl sits in a different location acording to your frame than a V8 does, so the mounts will be different and have to be moved. Also the shroud is different too I think. You might need different exhaust manifolds and such, but the basic motor, as long as it runs shouldn't be a problem. Make sure to check the oil when you get there or pull a valve cover and make sure it doesnt look like a McDonalds milkshake in there because of oil/water mixture. And maybe pull the plugs to see that it spins freely if it is not in the vehicle. Good Luck
