Default 3.0 to 3.3 swap

I was just wondering if I could put a 3.3 motor and trany in my 2000 caravan it has a 3.0 in it, but it’s blown. I was just wondering if the the frame is the same so it will just drop it....

It will fit, you could even go with a 3.8L if you wanted. You will need the complete engine wiring harness, PCM, catalytic converter, AC compressor, some of the refrigerant hoses amd the radiator (3.3L is bigger)

Get a good transmisson external cooler and plan on changing the tran oil every 10000 miles if you tow anything. I tow and learned the hard way that dodge never designed the trans for that much work.

all you would really need would be the engine, engine harness, trans, & possibly the radiator

welcome to the the 3.3/3.8 world, enjoy the power & durability
