engine swapp

Post by madtercel »

Has anyone every tried swapping out the stock engine and replacing it with a bigger or more powerful one? I hear some people are putting corolla engines in. is this just a straight swap? As in will it just bolt right into place without any major fabbing or welding? As well as the tranny will it just bolt right up to it?

Also what is a good way to get more power out of the stock engine? Nothing to extensive I don’t want to have to pull the whole dam thing apart to do any major mods.

If you have any info if you like you can e-mail me at Probmxer_14@hotmail.com thanks

If I had to do it over again, I'd have put the Paradise racing kit in before buying the Weber.
