Engine swap

[Egzakli]

good morning, can you swap the engines? And if not, what is the motor stand for?

[Grimmslayer73]

You can swap engines but only with engines listed under the cars swap options. The engine stand is used to break down an engine and rebuild it. While this can be done with the engine in the car, the stand makes it a lot easier. In-car rebuilds require a lot of up-down-up-down with the car lift.

you can go into the car editor and make what ever engine you want to go with the car, but you also have to alter other things to make it fit right.

hey
I wanted to know why my Ford F350 at the car salon can use 4 x 4 boss engine and a second hand can not?

I think you're referring to the RWD config. It has the ability to swap in a Coyote because it's also a RWD engine/drivetrain.

The 4x4 variant can only swap with other 4x4 variants. Same difference with RWD variants.

Config engine swaps for the RWD:
swapoptions=engine_v8,engine_v8_scharged,engine_v8_coyote,engine_v8_f350
type=engine_v8_f350

Swaps for the 4x4:
swapoptions=engine_v8_4x4,engine_v8_f350_4x4
type=engine_v8_f350_4x4

Has to do with the drivetrain setup for each truck, and its respective engine. RWD doesn't have a 4x4 drivetrain, so it's only compatible with RWD engines (and vice versa). They don't include a transfer case, or a front-end differential. The engine models in-game are all connected with their transmissions. No way to separate them. It's a bummer, but that's how the models are designed.

Hope this helps.

Without mods, you can still modify configs to swap any engine into any vehicle, but you need to change a few things in the editor if you want to line everything out. I'm talking vanilla, though, when describing why the game works the way it does.
