dude just buy another vg. its way too much work (IMO) to fit a 4 banger in a 6 cylinder chassis. yes it can be done, but its lots o work. i do know you need a different crossmember,

search in this subforum too, youll find all your answers. we've discussed this about 40 times on here..

You'd need a 4 cyl cross member for the engine, the drive shaft, engine harness, trans.

It's a HEADACHE for sure. You're much better off doing a VG.

What's wrong with the one you have?

That's the thing it don't have an engine in it I found the car without one the car was sitting in the yard for a long time just want to know where can I find a vg30e to shipped to aruba or is the vg30de or vg30dett going to fit with minor mods

just use the crossmember from your other s12's. its not that much extra work

yea it has to be non abs i believe are you going to get a one piece done?

silvias121987Mar 18, 2010, 4:16 am · #11

Yea I am.I was hopin to take a cheaper way out by connecting a 240 front shaft with my se rearshaft but I think I'm just gonna get a custom shaft made.

vegasS12Mar 18, 2010, 7:41 am · #12

I thing you'll still need to take a s13 non abs front shaft and your s12 rear for them to make it.

if you use the stock radiator hose youll need a crossover hose since the inlet/outlets are on different sides...

or you can use like a 95 camaro hose iirc.
