engine/tranny swap? - Hyundai Performance Forums

MIKELANTRA2323 · 04-22-2003, 05:14 PM

is there any engine that bolts right up to my car (96 Elantra 1.8L)?
Also. where can i go for a tranny swap? body shops? or what? i have no idea and i doubt i could do it. :rambo:

i beleive the only other engine that will bolt up to your car would be the 2.0Lbeta...

for the tranny swap it's fairly easy and you could probably do it with no problems just get some friends to help you out. I did the swap a couple months back (engine and tranny).

For more info about it check out my site http://projecthyundai.spikie.com it has a everything u need, parts and how to do it.. and a lot of pics from my swap.. hope that helps..
