Default Swapping engine

I have a 2002 stratus r/t, looking at buying a 2004 cadillac cts-v as a second car (toy). Considering eventually taking the corvette engine out of the cadillac and putting in the stratus, not sure if it's possible or worth the time and effort...??

If you have deep pockets and tons of time, go for it. It will neither be easy, cheap or quick. As to if it is worth your time and effort? I do not know the answer to that question as I don't know how much time and effort you are willing to put into such a swap. That being said, with enough time, effort and money, anything is possible.

I assume youre going for RWD as well? Youll need some good bracing, as the unibody will twist at the first good launch. Youre better off getting a 2004 EVO and swapping over the rear subframe and everything else and going AWD.
