Can 3.2 be swap with a 2.5???
I have a 96 3.2 that has HG problem and also needs front bumper/headlight. I found a 2.5 that has rear end damage, and thinking about doing the swap. Is it possible to do the swap? Thanks

yeah a 2.5 engine will not be a plug and play for the 3.2 it obviously will need alot of modifications just to allow it to work, i dont even think the transmissions are even the same, the 2.5 is a 5cylinder while the 3.2 is a v6, do the math!

The 2.5 bumper will fit. I've seen it myself as well.
