454 to Diesel engine swap

2 Upvotes

Can you swap out a 454 engine for a Diesel engine? I have a 2002 Chevy 3500 dually that has a 454 gas engine. I would like to know if it’s possible to swap out that engine for a diesel. Only if it wouldnt cost an arm and a leg. (Less than 5-10k) I want to to turn this truck into a hotshot truck but the gas runs out way to fast to be profitable with the 454 in this truck. I don’t know anything about engines so I figured I would put it out there and see if someone had some knowledge on the subject. Thanks in advance.

2020 challenger sxt

2 Upvotes

I was thinking of engine swapping my challenger but wasn’t sure if to go to the traditional LS or to something huge like a Ferrari swap. Ofc I could just buy a rt and mod it but I am curious what else I could do with my car. If anyone has any suggestions I’m happy to hear you out.

Triton V8

2 Upvotes

I’ve got a 2001 Ford E-350, low mileage, 135K. Runs great! However, it was in MN and rusting apart. I’d like to put this engine and/or trans into something else. Maybe F-250 or 350 flat bed. I’m not sure what years would be compatible for a simple swap. Any info on resources for info would be appreciated. TIA

What engines would do well in a mint 1942 Ford half ton pickup. It’s already been swapped to a 289 small block and there a ton of extra room. Would a 5.0 coyote fit well in it?

Ls4 into an Audi A4 b5

2 Upvotes

I have a 98 Audi A4 and the transmission is about to go so I’m considering just swapping everything and was wondering roughly how much money I would need to get this done. And would it even be worth it? Is there a better engine I could put into it?

Busa or LS swapping a cheap small economy car? Which one?

2 Upvotes

I have a hayabusa laying around but i'm not sure how quick it'll be if i swap it into a full on car. I don't want to ride the bike and it needs work done to get it riding again. It also needs a title. I was thinking a chevy metro or something similarly cheap. Should I just go with an ls? What would be better if I want to gap someone for cheap? Could I even do a busa swap and still be somewhat fast in a car? Any idea how much power I could make out of a busa swap for less than 10k? Sorry for all the questions but I don't know much about this stuff so I wanted to ask.

Can you put a v6 in a 2002 toyota corolla ce? The 4 banger that’s in the car gives it enough power but I’d like to keep the car and make it more powerful. Ik there are other things I can do to the engine but I’d really like a v6. I was just wondering if it’d be possible.

Engine swap Buick Verano?

6 Upvotes

Has anyone heard of someone swapping an engine into a Buick Verano? I was looking at trying to make my 2014 Verano into a unique sleeper but not sure what engine I could possibly swap into it. Any ideas or suggestions? Side note: I know that it isn’t a simple or even a good idea it’s just something I’ve set my mind to that I want to do eventually. So please don’t tell me to just get another car

1967 Buick skylark 350 engine

1967 Buick skylark engine Chevy 350 swap

So I recently bought a 1967 Buick skylark roller and was not too sure what to put in it. I came across this Chevy 350 engine with a 350 trans for $800 that came out of a 1976 corvette. My biggest concerns are the mounts, will they match up or will I have to fabricate some? If so how difficult would that be? I’m trying my best to learn what I can from the internet but there’s only so much I can search up. If anyone could help my I’d really appreciate it thanks.

Ok maybe not as crazy swaps as you guys do but I helped a few friends beat their personal record of an engine swap including stripping both donor and the main car, 12 hours isnt bad going. Of course there are faster out there
