Swapping Car Engine : Professionals Please Help! by mikotek(op): 3:00pm On Jun 09, 2017
I'm considering buying a car with a swapped engine, so I'm seeking advice from professionals here in NL.
For example, I've seen a Volkswagen passat (2.5L, V6) being swapped with a Volkswagen golf 3 (1.6L). What are the advantages and disadvantages?
To me I think the weight of the Passat would drag the small golf 3 engine, making it to work harder, thereby making it to consume more fuel than normal.
Please I would really appreciate professional advice and experiences.

Don't it try it unless you want to make mechanic workshop your second home.
Every engine is tailored designed with precision for that particular car model it is intended with a lot of engineering parameters in consideration. A car swapped with another engine will never run well

You wrote that your self.
Meaning you know the right thing to do.
You don't need any professional to give you advice.
Make a wise decision
