What's up ht, I bought a 99 Ek shell a few months back the previous owner had a k series but I want to throw a b series in it now but I was told I couldent because they cut the hole for the tranny bigger for the k series tranny, is there anything I can do to go back to b series ?

 

Indeed, sell the car.



Anything is possible, but you're really shooting yourself in the foot.

What's wrong with the existing K-series?

 

NO K! lmfao

 

Reading his post I got the impression it still had a k-series in it.

If it doesn't, and the wiring/mounts etc are still there it would be a lot easier to just put a k-series in it than try to put a b-series in it.

 

should of asked first before buying

 

Back to B-series? Sounds a little on the insane side unless the K is broken and you have or can get access to a cheap B.

 

im assuming the OP Bought this as a Shell the previous owner had a K20 in it but took it out and sold the car as is

 

thats what it seems like...

well sell the shell or buy a k.

 

it depends on how the person did the swap. did they use a factory shifter box or the hybrid racing kit? ek subframe or eg/dc?

 

it HAD a K series guys.

OP, just buy a K swap

 

yeah buy a kswap cause everyone can afford 4-7k just buya kswap this guy is a genius

 

yea im just thinking of going k ...but i was told i can weld a peice of sheet metel to cover the exsiting hole so that a b series tranny can mount up

 

i was somewhat kidding. hence the winky face.

and it does look like he can afford it

get us some pictures.

 

That just sounds like a terrible idea.

Honestly if it were me I'd 100% go for dropping a k-series in there. All the hard/expensive **** is already done.

 

why not just buy a k24 to drop in it and roll on u will be happier with the power and torque then any b series.... u can get a k24 for 500-600 bux complete.

 

a complete k swap for 500-600 bux?!!?? where at?? are dey stolen or blown?? or somethin never herd of that unless u now someone dat would hook u up

 

in Los Angeles k24 long blocks pop up between 500-700 regularly but never with a tranny.
On craigslist of course

 

just go to a junkyard find a manual ek and have them cut out where the shifter goes, then on your shell cut out where they cut for the k swap, after that just have a welder, weld in the junk yard stock mounting plate

 

you could. people do that all the time when they do an auto to manual swap.

 

bumppppp

 

Anything is possible if you look around, my friend got a complete k24 longblock for free.....

I completely agree with Libertariat, if I was you. I would just go k all the expensive stuff is already done for you via the shell.

 

Why did you bump this dead thread?

 

You got a pic, I'm curious as to what this looks like.

 

Definitely just buy a K series motor, especially if you can drop it in and go. A K20 swap from an EP3 can usually be had for around $1000.
