4cyl to 3.1 engine swap

[Todem76]

Hello all.
I have a friend that has a 95 beretta and he wants to put a 92 3.1L engine into his 4cyl 5 speed car. I have been enlisted to do the job but not sure if it will work. Have any of you had any experience with this kind of swap? Can it be done without any issues. What things will I need to perform this swap. I have the 3.1 harness and new flywheel/clutch. What other thing would I need? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The transaxles are different between the 4 cyl and 6 cyl engines. The internals of the v-6 trans are beefier, so the 4 cyl trans may not hold up. The final gear ratios are different, as well as the motor/trans mounts, etc. Without a complete donor car, the little things will drive you nuts until you're done. I say this swap is not worth doing, but it can be done if he wants it bad enough.

Thanks. That was my impression after I saw it yesterday.
