    Engine+Tranny swap (lil different..)

    My v8 swap (94 V6 >> 02 SOHC V8) cost me around 6 grand and put my car out of commission for several months. There are a ton of parts to buy. (that's what took my swap so long, I kept having to go and get more stuff from the salvage yard, and it ended up costing a lot more than I expected, so...

    flame thrower kit installed...pics!

    I think you are mistaken on that point. Most kits like these cut power to the ignition so fuel isn't burned in the cylinder. Instead the engine turns on momentum and pumps the raw fuel/air mixture out the exhaust pipes where it is ignited by the spark plug you welded in the tip.

    99+ engine swap to 96 v6?

    egnorant> A 5.0L swap would be easier than a 4.6L swap with your car. (probably cheaper too)

    why mod a V6?

    Not a snob at all, as I started with a 6 banger, but to answer your question, yes, i would if I had the cash. :D I also like the new hyland motorsports 6.0L modular block (basically just a stroked 5.4L block). I just plan on motorswapping forever, but leaving the v6 look. THAT is a...

    99+ engine swap to 96 v6?

    Nah, I don't think that would be the case. They didn't care at all that I swapped in a V8, so why would they care about a V6. They just insure it based on what the VIN says it is. If he wrecks it, it will be insured as a 1996 V6. (However, check with your individual insurer to make sure that...

    99+ engine swap to 96 v6?

    Go the v8 route if you are considering doing an engine swap. My swap including all parts listed above and labor was 6 grand. I still (legally) pay v6 insurance and have a helluva lot more hp/torque now.

    The entire fuel system needs to be changed to returnless style. Others have done swaps similar to this one, so check this forum and others with the search function.

    why mod a V6?

    I started with a 1994 V6 after I found I couldn't afford the payments or insurance on a GT. I modded my six like many people in this forum. I did the CAI, the gears, exhaust, etc. but I still wasn't satisfied. I ended up doing a 2002 4.6L SOHC motor swap last summer. I now roll around in an...
