Looking for an engine swap? Have I got an engine swap for you!
« on: December 18, 2023, 05:02:59 am »
Pontiac Vibe I4 - which I'm told is one of the bullet-proof Toyota engines. Professionally rebuilt by a reputable race shop, with forged pistons & rods, 8.5:1 compression ratio. Mated to a six speed trans with new clutch components. Shifter modified to work the six speed with cables. Turbocharged, with large intercooler. Mounted to an early cradle with urethane cradle mounts. Axles made & installed, hub to hub. Test fit into a Fiero. Never started. $4,000 invested. Come pick it up for $2500.
You can email me at imthadriver at yahoo dot com.

Sounds like a fun, relatively easy swap. Unfortunately, I'm full up with unfinished (unstarted?) projects just now.
Which Vibe engine is it? Displacement and year? There were several different engines/sizes.
Thanks!

Can someone mention this for me on PFF? I'm on a new computer & lost access to PFF, my gmail, & a LOT of other forums & such.
Thanks,

How should people contact you if your Gmail is broke?

You can PM me, here, if you want.

That might be a fun engine to put in my t-top duke car. But it"s an 88, so I'd have to put it on my 88 cradle.

Should be an easy change. The axles should work; you'd just have to use your '88 hubs. I have someone emailing me about it - first come first served.
