will other engines fit in the vibe?

Post by liftaddict »

I am wondering if anyone has any info on engines other than the 1.8 2zz motor that will work in my 03 vibe gt. Honda motor perhaps? I blew the motor on my vibe and I'm having a bit of trouble locating a replacement.

In the For Sale section there is a 2003 engine for sale.

thanks... looks like it's probably a 1zz. I need a 2zz or other worthy replacement. I did leave a message anyway at the # they had listed

No other engine will fit without major modifications. Engine and tranny mounts, computer, cv axles etc. etc. Might as well jam a V6 or a small aluminum block V8 in there for the trouble involved. Oh, and (removed) with the triple post?
