I'm curious

[Mr. Nosidda]

Will the Tribeca engine fit into the SVX? Or would it be a hassle/impossible to do?

[Gamesy]

it will fit, actually i think its a bit smaller
i remember reading somthing about a 3" difference

[Mr. Nosidda]

do you know of anyone that has done it?

[Hocrest]

As far as I know, it hasn't been done yet. If you want to do it, don't even bother trying to use the Tribecca ECU/harness. It is so tied into all the systems of the car that you will be tangled in a wiring nightmare.

The simplest way to do it would be a standalone ECU to run the engine and a manual transmission.

What he said ^^^.

Will it drop in? Yep.

Will it fit? Yep.

Will it bolt up to a transmission? Yep.

Will making it actually work be a collosal pain in the ass? Oh hells yep.

That being said, I'd love to see an EZ36 swap into an SVX with a 6-speed. There's one on Ebay for ~$3000.

[Mr. Nosidda]

ok, lol i have just been wondering this for a while

[zaueugen]

the 3.6 one yes?
and supercharge it

I would doubt torque. Though I could be wrong.

A 3.6 to my understanding is physically smaller because it uses smaller diameter pistons which means you can get higher revs but there is less torque per cylinder.
That would be on a N/A engine add forced induction and that could change quickly.

Yea, they have a very long stroke. Stock, they produce significantly more power. The lighter weight up front would certainly be a bonus, as would the more modern tech overall (some kind of variable valve timing, timing chain, etc.) For forced induction, it would be smarter to just start with an EG33 though.
