Re: P3 Engine Replacement with P4

Can anyone give me info / advice on installing a P4 engine into a P3. What are the main hurdles etc ? I have obtained a clutch release bearing tube which I understand I’ll need. Thank you in advance. Tim

I’d check engine mounts and the oil pan clearance first—those are often the tricky parts in a P4 swap.

Thank you so much for your thoughts. I have now completed the engine and indeed gearbox swap, a lot of work but I’m very pleased with the result

Cheers. Tim
