Saturn vue awd engine swaps
 
I was wondering if there are any available engine swaps for a 2009 Saturn vue that's an all wheel drive it

Since we don't know which Vue you have, the answer to your question is that, yes oh, there are two engines that you can swap in. They are two of the three offered engines that you do not already have. Hope this

It's got the same GM engine used in Malibu and Impala, so any versioon should work including a 4.3 out of a GM front wheel drive.

Interesting.

2009 Vue XR AWD comes with 3.6 V6 only

2009 Vue XE AWD comes with 3.5 V6 only
So I fear your response is on average only 50% correct. I think it was the 3.6 that is shared across the GM line not the 3.5.

4.3? How would we know? Would the Vue PCM be able to control it? Do you flash it as a different vehicle that has a 4.3 in it? I doubt there's an option for it that you could flash the PCM with as a Vue.

being a long-time hot rodder and car builder, I can assure you that the 3.5 is a pushrod cross-platform motor, also sold to other brands. The 3,6 is a more modern and fuel efficient motor, and is the basis for what is now the 335hp LGX motor in my Camaro.

The most obvious difference in the 3.5 and the 3.6 is that the 3.5 is a pushrod engine and the 3.6 is DOHC.

Thanks for that
