nucktaco Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Just picked up a 91 22 foot odyssey. It’s got the 3.slow and auto currently. I bought it with the intention of swapping in a 3.4 this winter. been thinking about it and wondering if I might be better off doing something like a Chevy 5.3 swap instead. Similar money, way more base hp/torque. Tons of aftermarket support. haven’t really seen it done though. Is there a reason no one does this swap? Got a buddy who’s a mechanic who was going to help with the swap and that’s the motor he is suggesting we do. if not that any other suggestions? building this to do a trip to panama in 2022 hopefully and Alaska/Yukon after.

nucktaco Posted August 23, 2020 Author Share Posted August 23, 2020 Thanks yeah I saw that post. I looked on summit and can buy replacement steel oil pans so should be able to mod those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maineah Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Well if it isn't heavy enough maybe a big cast iron engine will help. Now a 3.5 liter old Buick aluminum V8 would be neat they were lighter than the 22RE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
