WTF, why? !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Why a 3VZE swap? I’m sure it’s a million times more reliable than whatever it came with, but this was the swap of choice?

Probably because he bought one for 16 cents and a half-eaten unglazed donut.

Why not?

When you go to self service junkyard on half price engine day, you take what you can find.

Cause all them headgaskets. And the lack of power compared to comparable engines. And the fuel consumption. And there are a lot better cheaper engines out there.

Meh. Precuring an engine at all is an ass-pain on top of the swap. A lot of people will pick using what they have on hand over getting something else, even if the something else is better. Not every swap project needs to have a LS9 at the center of it.

Is it just me or did Toyota copy Ford’s 302 intake design?

There are only so many ways for it to work.

But a 3.8 V6 out of a Firebird would have been a better, cheaper, more reliable swap.

A 1MZ might have been a better choice.

Or a 2GR, even.

Nah, the 1MZ was nearly as bad as the 3VZE. A late 5VZE would have been better, though a GM 3.8 would have been a much better choice.

According to Wikipedia, the 5VZ was used as a factory motor in the later iterations of the Volga, could it be that they used the same trans making it a bolt in swap? It’s still pretty odd.

They do actually. I guess that makes sense. But why not 5VZE?

At first I thought this was being sold in Britain, but I see that its in Atlanta, Georgia. Yeah its a bit stranger to me now, since I thought it might’ve been because the swaper didnt know much about t he engine they were working with.

Damn, even a 22R-E, 2RZ-E would make more sense to me than this motor. Also, its automatic and this is the first generation Volga, so the bolt in theory probably doesnt work.
