Engine swap
« on: Jul 28, 2006, 09:43:59 PM »
 How hard would it be to swap in a 22re in place of a 3.0? Would it be worth the time and money, also I want to use the A340h tranny I currently have will it bolt up to the 22re or would I have to find an auto from behind a 4 banger?

I think you'd be better off staying with a 6 cyl.  Yknow, a 3.4 :yesnod:  IIRC, it's easier than swapping in a 22re, plus you'll have more power.

Trans would be different from v6 to 4cyl. Go with the 3.4 if you can!

 I would love to go with the 3.4 but finding one in my price range is going to be hell. I was also thinking of the 22re for the light weight and overall reliability. Would I be able to change tranny bellhousings on the A340h from the v6 to the 4 banger? Since I started wheeling an auto I don't think I would ever go back to a standard. I also plan to run a single 4.7 geared case behind it.
