I am swapping engines in my 91 Q45a. It only has active suspension, not Traction control. Would anyone be able to tell me if i use all of my own active pumps and hoses and pulleys, will this "in crate" 94-97 VH fit in my car 91 Q45a?

Also, will my ECU work for it? Will I be able to upgrade to Wes's new pimped out ECU? wow, so many questions.

thanksKirby

I'd bet a paycheck it'd be more work than it's worth.

Find a VH45DE.

I looked up the part number on Joes site. Says its a VH45D.

Is this different than the DE? It says its for a 94 q45 but i sure as hell aint buyin it unless its a perfect fit.

My bad, I saw the "97" in your post.

90-96 had the VH45DE, 97-01 had the VH41. Seller thinks this engine will fit a 97, which is incorrect.

This engine should be fine.

Wes, Dennis, anyone else wanna chime in?

You need a '90 - '93 engine to fit your '91.

Severe harness issues will result. Jamesmost has a thread in Q45 forums...
