Re: 2001 Engine swap
I can do it, I got the Cruiser for 1500.00. It had the windows broke out on the passenger side and a blown headgasket. On ebay they are asking 1000.00 to 1650.00 for a good 2001-2002 engine and I bought a 2006 for 399.00 + shipping of 200.00, ECM was 33.99 and wiring was 125.00. I'm not going into this blind, I've already checked with the Mopar Guru's on Just Answer web-site and they say that it is pretty straight forward swap. I am going to sell the head, short block and transaxle to get some of my money back, the later transaxle bolts right in and as long as you use the complete engine, wiring and ECM it's supposed to be almost a bolt-in. If there are differences in the ECM plug I can rerout the wiring where it needs to go, hell when TPI came out on the corvette I put one in my Jeep CJ-5 with the modifyed stock harness after I eliminated the unnecessary wiring. I have been schooled in EFI by Shade Tree University and studying many, many wiring schematic's. As far as added performance I am adding a 2 1/2" exhaust built with mandrel bent bends by me,OBX ceramic headers, and flowmaster muffler, other than that the car is for my wife to drive so its not being modifyed too much, I could have put a 4.3 G.M. Performance engine in it if I was going to drive it my self. I will keep everyone posted if it works out, later, mastifffreak.
