This is How you Engine Swap (Automation🔧BeamNG)

[@mxazuriee]

swapping engines in beamng looks harder than actually doing it in real life

[@fillman86]

oh man no, I can do a swap like this in a day (unless I'm unlucky), but an irl swap takes longer, and more skin off your knuckles :P

[@ethanwible3928]

Yes, but: (as a mechanic) there is no better feeling than shoving a different engine in a car and suffering through the difficulties until you finally fire it up and hear your creation rumble to life.

[@HPsawus]

@@ethanwible3928 I am totally fascinated by the idea of engine swaps. Do you usually have to fabricate additional parts? How many random hiccups do you run into?

[@ethanwible3928]

Everything has its own nuances, but bigger engines where they don't strictly belong becomes the source of troubles. Like something that starts off with a 4-cylinder, but you want to give it 8. You will probably have to fabricate some components, and get creative with piping.

[@michaeloster383]

​@hp8743 if it's a common swap, you'll most likely find kits with all the pieces you need. If it's rare or the first of it's kind, you'll need to make your own or work with a custom builder

[@md_vandenberg]

IIRC, most American cars up through the 70s had a stick-shift and were often the default. The luxury cars or those with a luxury trim got automatics.

[@fillman86]

most mustangs I see from the 60s 70s have slushboxes though

[@kermitlynotfound1129]

@@fillman86 the base models came with 3 speed/ 4 speed manuals and later in the 80s came out with a 5 speed manual. Base models were meant to be cheap and simple, though it did vary from model to model! Some 80s/70s cars did come with automatics of course, and some came with manuals as standard equipment. And it wasn’t always necessarily luxury models, however it was definitely a selling point to those who had to deal with heavy traffic.

@@fillman86Automatics were offered as a luxury option. Manuals were common for sporty or base applications. In the 80's and 90's auto gearboxes because popular because they became cheaper to produce compared to manuals, making them more common on low end vehicles. Auto gearboxes also phased out manuals in sporty applications as they became faster than manuals. Manuals are a dying breed now, but 40 years ago they were the standard.
