You would have to change everything from you computer to your coolant resevoir,wiring harness , hoses, etc.
I would try to sell the vulcan and buy a duratec. I think you would be ahead in the long run. Contingent on miles you could probably sell the vulcan for 5 to 600.00 and give 7 to 800.00 for a used duratec. I guess it could be done but I wouldn't want to tackle the job. Mike

yeah a Vulcan isnt that great of a motor. If its just that you want the car running and you happen to have a Vulcan then go for it, but it wouldnt be as great a car.
