It is possible, there is a thread on here somewhere that talks about it.

I didn't consider a 2017+ engine as the swap is too involved. I want to keep it simple as this will be my first ever swap.

Yeah, I did find it odd that the manual mentions for the sway bar link needs to be disconnected. |

I had my local snap-on truck guy grab one for me. Can't speak for in CA but, it is on Amazon. It is also included in AST's 10pc set #1018.

You can be creative If you take the belt off, and the top idler pulley you can use the idler pulley bolt through a chain there

My engine had just arrived. Looking towards the front of the engine the camshaft timing oil control valve sensor bank 1 exhaust side lower left side (passenger side of the vehicle) broke is the one on the lower left side (passenger side of the vehicle). Anyone know if a 2013 cam sensor can be used with my 2016 replacement engine?
grabbed this photo from someone who shared here and is the same part that I am asking about Last edited by knucklehead; 04-23-2020 at 04:50 PM. |

Have the replacement engine installed. Just have to install the torque converter bolts tomorrow and fill the oil and coolant.
How do you prime the oil for an automatic engine? |

Learned a couple of things during the replacement of my engine. Haven't tried starting it yet as I need more coolant. I thought that 1 jug is enough but it wasn't so have to buy another one.
For removal of the fuel line and without using an actual proper fuel disconnect tool, using zipties worked extremely well. Didn't have to struggle for the disconnection. And yes, the disconnection of the sway bar links as mentioned in the engine removal procedure for an automatic car is not needed. Thought that I would share some of the above for others that will be doing their first time engine replacement. |

Could possibly be an idea. But I was thinking of having to remove the fuse or relay for the ignition system and fuel pump before attempting to crank so I can build up oil pressure before attempting to start the car. Most of videos I've seen are for manual cars so I assume that there is a slight difference on how to prime an automatic vehicle.

Was able to get my motor running. Will just have to buy oil again tomorrow as I used up 5 gal of oil and the oil level is just at the middle of the low and high marks of the dipstick. How much oil does this engine take?

CAI components. ECU as you said. Many changed sensors. Different alternator and charging system. Probably some things I have not thought of. Sure it could be done with some work and cash but you seriously have to ask if that work and cost is worth it.
