If i swap my I-4 for the 6cyl 3.0 engine what all has to be modified other then every thing with the engine?

Oh boy, you better crawl under a rock while you can, cuz the flaming is about to begin! That is unless your lucky and no one sees this thread... But Im a nice guy. Let me be the first to say just try the search button first, before you post any questions you have. Will save you a lot of pain. Lol! And not many people on here are a fan of doing that swap, most people will tell you just go turbo, its faster and cheaper.

lol yea hope nobody bashes you too hard
search button is your friend

custom motor mounts, v6 tranny, the correct exhaust manifolds, etc.

The total price of parts alone could could pay for some turbo stuff

V6 engine about $600 or more + V6 tranny $650 (auto will be a lot more i think) + welding/custom motor mounts (whos knows $$$??)
and the list goes on

basically if you really want V6, it would be cheaper to just sell yours and go buy a used V6, but if you really want to keep your car and make it V6, lets hope you have a lot of money to dump into that project

edit: I'm not trying to bash you just tellin you it is extremely difficult but if you have the money, go ahead

Not to mention having to swap out the subframes, just not practical. Trust me I've thought about it plenty of times, wishing I would've just bought a V6 instead, bcz its a shitload of work and money to swap over. Harnesses, ECU's too much...

alright thanks.. do u think i can get a turbo that would ost the same as this swap? 1500-2000 range

Heres how you change your I4 to a V6. Drive your car to a dealership, trade in the I4 and get a V6. Its that simple 3 steps, no tools required.

i was thinking the mounting places in the bay itself were different? but I don't know for sure, so you can pretend i never said that :lol:
