stealth motor swap question
i have a 91 dodge stealth im looking to do a swap. i found a jdm motor for a 93 3000gt. probably dumb question, but the engine code for the 90-92 models are 6g72de, the 93 motor im looking at is 6g72 whats the de? and will this motor match my car without mods? im looking for a clean swap with no custom work. please any info will help. thanks

Re: stealth motor swap question
the d i would assume is dual cam and the E is electronic fuel injecton. they should be the same, the last 2 were just left off.

Re: stealth motor swap question
the 93 and up engines used a cam sensor along with the crank sensor. easy way to tell is there are 2 plugs that come out of the timing cover. the 93+ has 4 bolt mains also, and typically have less miles on them...but also cost more.
they are 6G72 engines. mits. doesnt use the "DE"...thats a nissan thing

Re: stealth motor swap question
why on earth would anyone pull a stock motor just to replace it with an identical motor?
You doing this for practice? Or did your motor blow up?

Re: stealth motor swap question
block is iron, it's fine. heads MIGHT be warped, should have them checked though. you might be fine just swapping gaskets.

Re: stealth motor swap question
yeah, the later model will work as a longblock. you will have prolly have to swap the intake manifold. and yes, there will be a few sensors that will not be utilized in your application.
the '# bolt main' is how many bolts hold the crankshaft main caps to the block, thus hold the crank in. that technically makes it a 'stronger' motor, but i have rarely heard of that enginewith crank problems. mostly timing belts brake and bend the valves.
