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

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.

hey man i think i got a motor and tranny at home for your car. i pulled it out of a car that my dad got hit in from behind. it has less than 65000 miles on it. im not sure what it is though.let me know if your interested .

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

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?

i bought the car for the body to build. its my first build and i dont know much about cars. but i most def have friends helping me. the guy who owned it before me blew a head gasket and warped the heads and block basicaly no good. im just trying to get the thing running right now. ill be building it later.

block is iron, it's fine. heads MIGHT be warped, should have them checked though. you might be fine just swapping gaskets.

so your saying the 93+ motor should work it'll just have a couple extra wires hanging off? and whats the 4 bolt main? im sorry if these are realy stupid questions but im just trying to get into this and learn about cars. im interested just never had anyone who would show me before.

drifterJERRY

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.
