Default 04 TL complete changeover into an EK? can it be done without difficulty?

04 TL motor spec
270 HP and 240 TQ
My friend and I are thinking about doing this swap on his 97 EK.
Can it be done? There's no mount and axle for it yet, as well as harness and ecu?

Everything will be custom!

Including the fit!

Good Luck

youd have to do alot of homework. since i think there is more electronics on that car, such as TB i think is drive by wire, need to find one that is cable driven that fits or fab one to fit, everything like everyone else said would have to be custom. engine mangement i think would be the biggest thing since i dont think anyone has anything out for them. would be a nice straight line car.

also just checking car-part.com it would not be a cheap swap roughly 3k for the motor which i doubt includes trans which is another 1000-1500 for the 6speed, then all then nice fab work you would have to do. if you have the money go for it and let everyone know how it goes.

You asked in your title if it could be done without difficulty. That is a joke.

bragging rights?

"look at my 10,000$ engine swap, thats right ladies it still only runs a high 13."

there is a difference between doing something different and doing something ignorant. this is ignorant.
