    I would imagine only another a Kia motor. I know Hyundai owns Kia now so maybe one of theirs as well.

      Are trying to figure out what other car companies will fit in the car because it looks like a 5mge or 22re Toyota motors will work but we aren't sure

        But it looks like the spectras motor will fit in it because it appears to be the same motor but the spectra is FWD sooo it won't work??

            okay. first off you need to search for engines that are compatible by engine code.

            Most engines that are fwd configured can be mounted in different chassis provided the right accessories and mounts are used.

            kia is mainly a FWD manufacturer so your dealing with several fwd engines only some of which can be found in rwd or awd applications.


            ps op. im pissed at you for not using my sig. blow me. jk love dj

                  all you do is quote my post and copy paste the link into your signature.


                  anyways the best cheapest way to get this car back running is to swap in the same motor

                      actually, you can put an engine from a Ford Fiesta. It's the same body and engine.

                          What's wrong with the current engine? Why not just pull it and rebuild it or fix what's wrong? An engine from a fwd car should still work as long as the head and block are the same, and swap mounts, accessories as needed.
                          For all things 24v, check out Markert Motorworks!

                            It's completely shot I mean I don't think it would be worth the rebuild because it barely drives and accelerates it's practically dead but it may just need a rebuild
