Has anyone tryed to swap a newer model 2.7 gt v6 engine in a beta 1 1.8 tiburon?
I Have the 1997 tiburon with a 1.8 auto and was wondering if that swap was possible?

 

Possible, yes. Worth it? No. It so much heavier and would be a lot of work. With the extra weight the power wouldnt be that much more. Spend the money elsewhere such as a reliable turbo kit or NA mods.

Best power adder for you right now would be a manual swap.

 

Please search, and if you don't know how to search properly, work with it for awhile, this has been discussed to death.

WTF would you downgrade your engine?

 

what all has to be done to change the auto to maual?
