1 Answer

Sure it is possible........ask any hot rodder........but it is not plug n play. You would need to get the ECM from the 4 cyl just to make it run, then connecting the ECM to the BCM could be another issue. If you have a bad 3800 V6 (which is rare) there are thousands of them around. I know a guy that got a 40K engine complete for $400.....then that is plug n play
