I am thinking of taking the engine from an automatic transmission wagon and replacing an engine that has a five speed manual transmission. I am wondering if the one with the automatic will easily bolt onto the standard transmission with little or no problems, will I be able to role the cars around without the engines, etc.. I have changed a few engines but they were on rear wheel drive cars and a couple of trucks.

Thank you for any advice.

Being able to roll the around really depends on how you get them out. I t would surely be easier to remove the engines and move them around instead.

Swapping engines shouldn't be too big of a deal... off the top of my head I am not coming up with any extra doodads or gizmos on the block that would need to be swapped. It's nowhere near the same as swapping trannys.

Should be simple enough if you have the tools and the time.
