Engine Transplant

[KentuckySHOoff]

I have a 94 SHO that I just recently destroyed down the passenger side. I am thinking about putting my motor and tranny (just rebuilt) into another body. If any one has a GenII body laying around let me know, but my real question is how much trouble will it be to do the swap? Can a GenII 3.2 bolt up to the MTX tranny?

Do a search. You will find tons on this topic.

yes, a 3.2 will bolt to an MTX tranny. If you want to keep the 3.2 heads, follow the modifications listed on shotimes.com . As for the swap, I recommend dropping it from the bottom, which for a swap I'd hold the engine and all up with a cherry picker, undo the subframe bolts, then lift higher, and the car will move off the jackstands. remove the jackstands, and lower to the ground. Then attatch the hooks to the two square openings on either side of the front of the unibody, and lift the car! Support it, then roll the cherrypicker and subframe/engine out as one piece! It can be done (see sig )
