Engine swap
I'm starting an engine swap (96 3.8 out and 99 3.8 in - both RWD). I know I have to change the intake, but does anyone have any advise as to what other problems I may run into?

Try posting in general tech section, you'll get more responses.
If the motor isnt out of an F-body, youll probably need to change upper and lower intake manifolds, throttle body, oil pan and exhaust manifolds*Matt

Re: Engine swap
depending ont he mileage, you amy want to change all the gaskets you can. if you buy the conversion kit from autozone, it comes with the oil pan gasket, rear main seal, oil pan gasket, water pump gasket etc. and it's only like $35Car expresses who you are. If you have a ****ty car, you must be a ****ty person;)<br /><br /><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/ride/995979\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/ride/995979</a>Comment

Re: Engine swap
Are there any lists of the differences between engine years (off topic, I think it would help the OP as well)? Id like to get a JYard engine and slowly rebuild it while the other one dies. And hopefully have it done by that time.sigpic
