LLT to VF LFX engine swap requirements?

[_R_J_K_]

Hmmm, I think the two LFX pictures I've posted are actually BCMs.

You will need to source a VE LFX loom, just find 1 to suit your trans type

1st and last link are the ecu, 2nd and 3rd are the bcm.

Ah ok. But I will be able to reuse the ECU and sump from my LLT? Or source those from a VE LFX too?

 

[vywgn]

Will need ve lfx ecu and can use your sump

I’ll be another to confirm. You need the motor. You will be using your looms, sensors and ECM that is currently in the car.

All the advice so far is solid. Take it.

So I won’t need to replace any electronics/ecu/ecm, just the engine itself, swap my LLT sump onto it, get LFX cats and headers, and use my LLT electronics? Or will I need the VE II ECU and loom as vywgn suggested?

The first engine I found fell through but I’ve found a couple others, but both from VFs, so I want to be sure if I need to get any other parts with it.

If you currently have an LLT, then you would already be driving a series 2 VE.

 

[Fu Manchu]

Wait. LLT is the intermediate series 1.5.

You should be rights just swap the motors over. Integrated headers etc so you’ll need the exhaust bits.

If you start swapping looms and ECM, you are going to enter a world of hurt. It could easily end up like rabbit hole of pain.
