Is this possible? Has anybody done this? Swapping the type s motor in the base model? will the tranny fit? just curious. thanks

 

I believe the sub-frame is different, so my first guess would be no.

 

I guess it'll fit, but I think it's cheaper to just sell your and buy a typeS. I think you'll need to replace part of the wiring and engine management too, not just the block and head.

 

i saw a 3.2 modded into a 3.7. Dont know what his username is on here cause i saw it in person with some other members on here. hes got the two tone TL gray and black with the RJ Devotion type 3

 

haha why would you go through an engine swap to gain 20hp

 

His username is Slippry.

 

I'm sure you can, everyone swaps engines it's not for the convenience but for the knowledge.

 

i was asking because i saw a type s on ebay for sale 1500.. just curiousity

 

 

good question. any body who did this can answer him?

 

Probably the torque, 3.7's can easily make 275 TQ... Also to the OP, doing the conversion would be a lot of work. Doing a stroker kit would be the cheapest, but using the TL-S block and other parts, you would need a new trans, etc. Trade it in or get an S/C

 

that's cool. thanks everyone for your response. But yeah, I wasn't looking to do the swap. I was on Ebay and just saw this TL-S that was for sale with a good motor, so I was just curious. I wouldn't go thru the hassel of the swap for the HP
