Engine swap

[Dougnsalem]

The engine is almost 6 feet long and 4 feet tall. And weighs more than half the truck. Which means it's physically larger than the engine bay you're dreaming of putting it in. It's time to stop playing "let's pretend".

No, no, he may be onto something here. I just blew the motor in my Pinto, and I've been trying to think of something unique to put in it to replace it. Yeah, 60 series. I like it. Probably take just a bit of fabrication. No problem.....

My brother's buddy's cousin just put one in a Gremlin, so it's definitely possible.

How much body lift for something like this in my S10 blazer?

Just a 3/4 to frame and a couple inches is all it should take.

For the right fee, I bet I could arrange the use of a crane like that for you....

Anything is possible with fabrication

If you know what your doing. Or at a minimum have an aptitude for weight balance and proper placement to counter act adding more then half the total weight to your truck. Then factor in if you want to lift it and run the risk of flipping it in a low speed turn, then again some would be amused by such posts of the after effects of such an event. Pics would be a must though.

You guys need to give him just a little more credit. Is it crazy? Yes. Is it outlandish? Yes. But is it possible? Yes.

It could be done but then again it could turn into a 7000 lb lawn ornament.

With 5000 of those pounds sitting over the front wheels.

Also you don't even know what the truck would be used for but again it's my fault for not mentioning but anyways a pulling truck

I’d think you’d want to be able to move weight around for one of them, not have it stuck in one place, but what do I know.

That's very true. But that can also happen with a simple engine swap. All depends on what the person is willing to do when/if they get bored with it.

Seems like alot of people disagree with my thinking so I might just delete this lol, but you also gotta look at the dude who fit a durmax in a camaro and an cummins in a charger
