engine swap

Corolla 1.8L engines for model years 1998 through 2008 all used the same head casting and the same block casting. However, beginning in August 1999, and continuing through model year 2008, all of the 1.8L engines were equipped with variable...

Hello, thanks for your question about your 2011 Camaro. To replace your existing engine, interchanges include the 2010 Camaro and the 2010-2011 Cadillac CTS. If you use a larger engine, which of course is heaver, you will have to modify...

The main problem in such a swap is the engine computers for the two engines you are referring to are not interchangeable. And, you cannot flash re-program your existing computer to work with the new engine because the two use...

Hi there. Our "How to" articles (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/how-to-rebuild-a-car-engine) are written as usually general guidelines - not specific instructions that apply to a particular vehicle. We don't specify the precise steps for completing any repair because the reality is that every vehicle...

Installing a new engine will obviously solve the problems related to the timing belt damage (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/symptoms-of-a-bad-or-failing-timing-belt). As for the question of more problems, this is not really something that can be guaranteed, although I would recommend checking into the warranty...

In the 2007 model year the Ford Fusion was available with a 3.0L 6 cylinder motor or a 2.0L 4 cylinder motor. In 2011, the Fusion was available with those same options as well as the 3.5L 6 cylinder dual...

The two engines are different and you would not have correct wiring and computer for this different engine. Would recommend finding the correct motor.

You should not have too much trouble swapping the 2014 engine into the 2015 as long as it is the same size engine. You may have some different wire harness and intake hoses and connections you would need to swap...

The two motors are from two different years and one is a car and other a truck motor. The two motors have different specifications for compression and camshafts internally. You will also have different external problems with sensors, fuel injection...

A "blown engine" is a generic term for major engine damage. There is not a single fix for all "blown engines". With that being said, your vehicle needs to be inspected further to see if the engine is actually repairable...

The only other direct swap would be the 2003 Ford Ranger. That is what the interchange guide states. You may be able to use a different year Ranger or B2300 if you swap over everything but the block and head....

The cost to replace the engine may exceed the value of the vehicle. It will cost less to replace the engine with a used one versus overhauling the existing engine.

The question would need to be more specific. When changing out a motor with a used motor is hard enough to get the same year engine to work correct. You want to change out to use a more modern motor...

If you were driving and your engine stopped abruptly then you may have broke a timing chain and engine seized. You will need to first try and jump start the engine to see if it will turn? If you just...

Unless there is a contributing factor in the failure, such as a deteriorated hose or hose clamp failure, the person who improperly connected the radiator hose is the only person responsible for repairing or replacing the engine. They may do...

In order to do this swap you would need to change out complete computer, fuel, exhaust, cooling systems along with transmission and may even need to change out suspension due to additional weight of motor. This is not something that...

Anything is possible, but it's not a straightforward swap. The powertrain control module (PCM) is different as is the wiring. I'm sure there are other subtle differences as well. You could use the 2003 as donor car and pull everything...

Hi there. This can be done but the cost of it would be ridiculous.You would need all of the computer and the wiring harness from the donor vehicle to make it work in your vehicle. It wouldn't be cost effective....

Hello. If you are using the base engine then you should be just fine. The intake and exhaust as well as the sensors will work different so all of that will need to be switched over.

It takes about 15 hours to remove the engine on the 1997 ES300 and substitute another one. That figure does not include ANY time for rebuilding or re-conditioning. It is based simply on removing the complete engine from the vehicle...
