How many swaps have you done in your life time, either on other Hyundai's or or totally different cars? It can be either with a whole different engine/tranny, or replaced it with an OEM one?

 

I have helped in four, three Beta swapped X3 and a Beta swapped LC...

 

2 Mercury Cougar XR-7 AODE trans swaps

1 VW Golf 8v engine swap

1 Accent OEM engine replacement

 

Roughly 9 or so Hyundai transmissions, 4 engines

1 pontiac 6000 engine

2 caprice 700r4 transmissions

Ghetto rigged a 307 and th350 into my 58 Chevy truck

Swapped a 454 for a 350 (f*ck you 3.50 a gallon)

 

If we are talking about tranny changes, I have change eight in my car along!

 

I immediately thought of faith when I saw this post, but I didn't realize it was that many!



All I've done is swap an A/T to a M/T on my '00 Tib

 

3 Ford Explorer motor swaps

5 motor pulls, 2 transmission swaps in my Tiburon

1 Volvo 240 engine swap

 

its not all the same car lol



ive done 5 or 6 transmissions on the turbo car (lost count, i think its 6 now with the current one)

rebuilt the motor on the turbo car

did a motor on the failwgn after intentionally blowing it up on nitrous

transmission on my old rd1

rest was friends/brothers sh*t (hyundai wise anyways)



i also forgot the motors i did for my old roommates cars

1 ford festiva engine (lol we didnt even have a hoist to pull this out, we got a long f*cking piece of pipe and pulled it out between the 2 of us, little known fact, those cars were actually made by kia)

1. mazda protege engine

1. toyota corolla transmission (cant remember year) after the dumb ass hit a rock in carlsbad and DROVE TO ABQ (300ish miles)KNOWING IT HAD A HOLE IN THE PAN



he attached a tin foil baking dish under the transmission and added 3 qts and figured it was ok to drive



not sure if this is concidered a "swap" although it was the same amount of work, but i did put a clutch in the maxima and believe me, youd LOVE how easy it is to do a hyundai trans if you ever did one of those

 

Man i'm 43..my first was in 1985, I was 17 and replaced my dodge omni motor, then chevetts,caravans,k-cars,clelebreties ( I remember using a tree for 3 of them lol)and more throughout my younger years..only 2 for myself in the last ten years,but I have helped many many..eg just unloaded a k series for a buds civic 2 days ago As I said before ,I'm by no means a mechanic!, just a maintenance guy who loves to tinker with stuff.

 

Dozens. I work at a shop.
