Can I swap a V6 4.3 chevy engine into 1998 s10 with factory 2.2l L4 ?
Just keep it stock. Start a savings plan to purchase a new truck or car. Swap a 4.3 liter V-6 that is not economical would not be a good idea. 11 year old truck just keep it going long enough to save for a new ride. There are so many things you'll run into when making such a swap and unless you have a complete donnor truck you may never get all the dash board to read corectly. Transmission and rear gear ratio are different as is the Tachometer and and instrument cluster that means the fuel injection harness is different and engine and transmission control are different too.
Can l put a 4-cylinder engine into V6 car?
Yes, you can. But it’s not usually economical to do so. You are better off selling your V6 car and buying the same model with a 4 cylinder version. If you try it, make sure your year and model of car were sold with both a 4 cylinder and 6 cylinder versions and that the transmission that is in your current car was used with the four cylinder version as well. You will likely have to move some of the electronics over too. Your V6 versions might not work with your 4 cylinder engine.Transmissions may not match up and with front wheel drive, that is potentially difficult - read expensive - to overcome - you might have to buy the entire front end mechanicals to make the swap work properly.It can be easier with a rear wheel drive car if the car has a transmission that was used for both the 4 cylinder and the 6 cylinder versions of that model.You won’t be able to put a Ford engine in a Toyota car without MAJOR modifications - that is not worth the trouble.
How can a fuel injection engine change to a carburetor?
It depends on the engine and it's more common to go from carburetor to fuel injection not the other direction. On some engines you would still have an ECU for spark and timing control or the transmission. On other engines it's relatively straight forward.The lower intake has to be changed for one with a place to mount a carburetor. On some throttle body fuel injection setups you can swap one for the other without changing the intake. In most cases a different manifold is required.The fuel pressure for fuel injection is higher 40+psi, a low pressure pump is ideal and a fuel pressure regulator for carb level psi around 5psi. Is needed. The fuel rails or fuel lines need changed at least for the last few feet.The ignition system needs to no longer be computer controlled. That might mean an MSD style ignition box or just a coil and distributor swap, it depends on the engine and what it originally had.Your ignition and computer are probably the hardest parts, getting the engine to fire up again might take some extra effort.Air, fuel and spark will all need some attention. Going from carb to throttle body fuel injection is more common lately and it might be less effort to upgrade your fuel injection from stock to something better instead of going to a carb.On a small block Ford or Chevy it's really pretty easy to convert and probably -$1000 especially if you use used parts you could probably convert for under $500.Finding out what your car needs to start without an ECU or how to confuse it to be able to start is something you'll have to look up for the specific engine/car in question.On some engines the conversion is probably impossible without fabricating an intake manifold. Others, you can find the parts on Craigslist or the junkyard and it might only take an afternoon or two.
What are my options for direct engine swaps with a 3rd gen. Pontiac Firebird?
Engines that will fit with very few mods (changing engine mounts on frame, change exhaust, and changing transmission) 2.5L 4cyl 2.8L v6 3.1L v6 V8 262, 267, 283, 302 (chevy made a 302), 305, 307, 327, 350, 400, or the stroked 350 which is known as 383 stroker, or the destroked 400 known as 377.. From 1957 to 00 (only 93-00 engines that will swap in east is the truck engines) All 82-86 camaro/firebirds has engine mount holes pre drilled in K member for the 4 cyl, 6 cyl and v8... All 87-92 camaro/firebirds was pre dilled for 6 and 8 cyl engines.. So as far as mounting engine in, its pull out old, un bolt engine mounts, buy v8 mounts for $20 and bolt them in.. Drop engine in and hook up wiring. The swap will be much easier if you use a carb'ed v8 engine with HEI dizzy. No EFI, computer, sensors, etc to worry about. Only need like 10 wires total to power engine, charging system, starting system, etc and like 4 vac hoses Transmission from 2.8L or 3.1L will interchange, but will not bolt up to a v8 engine.. Theres a long list of v8 transmissions you can use.. From the 700r4 that came in the 84 and up f body cars, th-350, th-400, then a whole bunch of man (stick shift) trannys. You do have 3 things to look out for when doing trans swap.. Over all lenght of trans will change the driveshaft lenght needed.. And trans face to mount lenght will change what transmission crossmember you need And these cars uses a torque arm suspension. The torque arm goes from rear end to mount on tail shaft of trans. The th-350 and th-400 don't have a place on tail shaft to mount the torque arm.. . But B&M kit makes a kit for a th-350 for $80 that bolts onto tail shaft so you can use torque arm.. Hurst makes a th-400 kit so it will mount in car, and torque arm will fit. If you use a 700r4 or th-350 long tail shaft trans the same driveshaft (stock for 84-92 camaro/firebird) will fit If you use a th-350 short shaft, or th-400 then you will need a longer driveshaft (one from a 82-83 camaro/firebird will fit)
What is needed to convert a EFI car to a carb?
Well, you'll need an intake manifold and carb, of course. You'll probably have to yank the ignition system and computer as it will have a hissy-fit if it doesn't see the fuel injection system. And you'll have to figure out how to deal with the speedo if the current one is electronic and getting its signals from the computer. Worst case could involve a trans swap to get the drive cable for a mechanical one. You'll have to locate a distributor (maybe) and coil (definitely), etc. again due to the loss of the computer. You'll need to yank the fuel pump and replace it with a low pressure one for the carb. The EFI pump will blow fuel right out the float bowl vents. Personally I'd just build an old-school 302 & C-6 and drop it in with a custom dash and hand-crafted electrics. Probably be more fun and cost less too. Forget passing emissions tests. We don't have them in my area, but the safety inspection does check for factory emissions gear so that would be a bust here.
Can a modern car engine fit inside an old car? If it does, can it work?
Fitting the engine in won’t be a problem. As you noted, older cars are larger with plenty of space in the engine bay. The problem you’ll have is making the newer engine work in the older car. Newer cars have multiple sensors, computers, and subsystems for traction and stability controls, transmission controls, anti-lock braking, and in some Cadillacs, even electronic controls for the shock absorbers.The bummer part is that if you remove some or all of these subsystems, the engine management system may not function properly to run the engine normally.A better option for your purpose would be to buy what is called a “crate motor”, which is a motor specifically designed to be used in multiple types of vehicles. GM makes crate motors, and sells them through Chevrolet dealerships. Here’s one that might interest you:LSA Crate Engine - Race EngineThe LSA V8 is the same motor used in the Cadillac CTS-V, and if you add the “connect and cruise” option, it would be relatively easy to drop this motor into an older car.
