Can I put a 92 Buick Regal Motor into an 01 Impala?

Asked by CaptObvious290 Mar 31, 2021 at 11:02 AM about the 2001 Chevrolet Impala

Question type: Car Customization

I have an older neighbor who asked me if I'd be able to
swap the motor from his 92-93 Buick Regal into his 01-02 i
Impala. I have a few questions about it. One, is it possible?
Two, How many issues will I run into during the swap?
Three, Would the transmission have to go too? And four,
Would it be better to just fix the motor in the Impala than
attempt the swap? He said that there is a crack
somewhere that's pushing oil into the radiator. It never ran
hot or anything like that.

It would be simpler to fix the impala. Because you'd have to swap both the engine and transmission in order for it to work. Plus the motor mounts and locations of hoses and sensors may be different and lets not forget the wiring that you need to do as well. The Regal is OBD1 computer system and the Impala is OBD 2 which is a different animal.
