These are probably a stupid Newbie questions. So I apologize ahead of time.
I am the original owner of a 1991 Galant with 150k actual miles (BUT not a VR4). Back then, I was also the proud owner of a first year 3000GT VR4 as well. So I experienced the VR4 steering and handling in that vehicle.
My Questions:
(1) Can the "regular Galant engine be replaced with the VR4 engine.
(2) If it can't be replaced, can the original engine be upgraded and who can do that on the west coast.
(3) Can the VR4 AWD and undercarriage be replaced into my vehicle. (steering etc)
(4) Can the VR4 engine be retrofitted with the automatic transmission?
(5) Please feel free to give me advise pertaining to my thoughts/requests (above)? Maybe my "original" engine could be upgraded? etc etc
You may say, why not find a VR4? This vehicle is very important and personal. My late wife and I were original owners. Patti died in 2008 after 3 and a half years of suffering with Inflammatory Breast Cancer. She drove it from 1991 to 2007. So the vehicle is really important to our family.
We can't afford any of this right now, as our family has gone through much hardship and financial tragedy (my youngest son is in treatment for a rare form of Leukemia) and we lost everything financially. BUT just maybe someday we will hit the lottery LOL. I just want to be able to dream!
Thank you so very much.
Warmest regards
