My '95 3000GT is leaking and burning oil really bad. I want to replace the engine in it. I was wondering if anyone knows what engines (besides 6G72) will fit this car? Also, if anyone has any expereince with this kind of swap or knows where I can read up on this I would greatly appreciate if you could share.

a 6G72tt is your only direct drop in option. And that requires some modification to the main harness.

There are plenty of Diamantes in the US.

The montero also has the the same engine.

I found this site that shows step by step 3.5 6G74 motor installation into 3000GT or Stealth: http://wrenchmonkey.com/Webpages/6G74swap.html It does look like more extra work, but definately doable.

i just threw it out there to keep you thinking. you never want to get set into one thing, you get tunnel vision and make bad decisions.

Thanks! I think I am going to go with the 6G72. I just want to still checkout turbo engine swap. I know I'll have to replace more parts with this swap.

Good point! The reason why I want to swap an engine instead of buying an new car is to save money. I just want to see how much more expensive would it be to get a VR4 motor. If it just $1,000 it be worth it for sure!

The turbo motor is cheap the accessories like turbos and intercoolers aren't.

Plus the upkeep is more expensive.

Chances are to buy a good condition TT motor and necessary bolt ons would run you close to $5000 plus install.

GirlyVR4 is going to have a better more accurate price then I will leave that for her.
