How to figure out if an engine can fit inside a car?
How can i tell which engines fit in which cars. Basically i wanna build up and upgrade an engine until i feel good with it then when i have enough money to restore an old car, i'll drop the engine into the older car. For example i could build up a 90's camaro then brop it in an older car, example-69 mustang
With enough effort, you can make anything fit into any car, but if you are looking to do it cheap and easy you usually will want to use engines from the same manufacturer. So for example putting a chevy camaro engine in a 1969 Mustang might be sort of a strange thing. The 1969 Mustang will retain more value if you put a Ford motor in it, preferably something that would have been available at the time such as a 428CJ, which wasn't produced in the 90s so it wouldn't work for your concept.
There are some kits out there that allow you to do just what you're describing. On that note for 90's engine you will need as well to have the computer to go with it along with the harnes's. If you're paying some one to do this then look to spend money, if you do it on your own you will encounte the usuaul problems that the mechanic would and still cost you some scratch, just not as much
With enough time and money you can do anything. I built and installed a Dodge 360 in my 41 Plymouth business coupe along with many other updates. Paid $550.00 for the car and now have about $20,000.00 in it. All part of boys with toys.

- What's the largest engine I could fit inside of a 2004 Ford Ranger Edge 2D that has a 3.0 L V6? I'm thinking maybe a Chevy 327, but that would require a lot of work as making room or getting and Chevy transmission to go with the Chevy 327. On the other hand I could put a Ford 286 or 302 in there supercharge that **** up and it would be a monster.

- I have a Ford Fusion with a great working engine. Does this engine fit in other cars ala the Litter and Cylinder numbers are the same? I have a Ford Fusion 2009 that the body is kind of wrecked. So I'm looking for a new body. Does that has to be Ford Fusion or I can go for different ones? The engine is 2.3L/4Cylinders. I looked it up and Mustang and Mazda CX7 and etc have the same numbers.
