i have a 2005 ls and my friend just wrecked his 2005 2.0L SS SC last weekend and i plan to follow where it goes to possibly pull the engine and trans. Is it possible to successfully swap engines without TOO MUCH work involved?

To pull the engine and trans it would be like $300 how much more would you expects in order for this to work.

btw i have too many miles to just add a tc or sc on there so thats also out of the question

 

theres a new guy who posted, he dropped a 2.0sc into a LT body
i cant find this post atm, try looking in the General top forum for him, he said it was a LS/SC i think, confused the hell out of us until he further explained

 

no, it's not.

/thread.

 

QFT......

 

once again. It is possible to have the 2.0 put in, but you'll have a good/fun time trying to get it running properly.

 

he said, in caps, WITHOUT MUCH WORK in the first post.

 

its infinitely easier to just supercharge the 2.2, or if youmust have an LSJ, then trade your car, but an LSJ in a LS/LT is an electrical nightmare

 

make sure you take the pcm and bcm (body control module/fuse box in the center console) as well as the trans and shifter and the gauge cluster its possible take every bit of wire you see hanging as well

 

Just take the supercharger and swap, why even bother with the rest?

 

exactly!!! i mean if it costs under 500 or so i mean I'm all in but if its gonna be an "electrical nightmare" and not worth it I'll drop it now.

 

this has been discussed too much !!

 

but wiring is fun.

Hell, if you lived by me, id do it for $300 to wire it all up.
