Can i drop a v-8 into my 2000 v-6 stanger??

not quite sure what tomato juice would do for a 3.8, but you can try.




on a more serious note, it's a very involved project, and someone asking this question should not be undertaking it.

thats the truth...but it can be done fairly easy

well i know it wouldn't be easy... i would actually try to find someone to do it, but if y'all can give me some advice i'd appreciate it. i got my car when it was brand new and plan on keeping it around until the end. i was 17 at the time and thought it was smart to go with the v-6 (insurance, gas, tickets, etc.). well i made a big mistake and want to beef this car up, help me out please!!!

youd be better of just getting a gt. take it from someone who has done the swap! its not just an engine you will need...rear end and tranny are a must

yeah, someone told me it would cost me about 20k, but if i did it would the car be solid and can i find a mechanic who would do the job?

You can find someone and I'm sure you're sentimental about your car but it's really not worth it. I'd either get a GT or just take that money and build up your V-6. It can be done you just have to be a little more creative. If someone told you it'd cost 20k and you're still interested then take that money and get an old 5.0 and build that up to get your speed fix and keep your LX as a daily driver. For 20k you coudl have a damn nice fox, and I mean dammmmmnnn nice!
