Does a 1995 Dodge Intrepid 3.3 motor fit into 1999 Intrepid?

While both are 3.3L engines, there might be some differences between the 1995 and 1999 Dodge Intrepid 3.3L engines that could cause compatibility issues. It's not a guaranteed direct swap.

Things to consider:

* Engine Management System: The computer systems and wiring harnesses are likely different between the two years. You'll probably need to swap the entire engine harness and computer from the 1999 Intrepid to make it work, or at least do significant modifications.

* Sensors and Accessories: Minor sensor differences or accessory mounting points could cause problems.

* Exhaust System: The exhaust manifolds and catalytic converters might not be directly compatible.

* Transmission Compatibility: Ensure the transmission from the 1995 engine is compatible with the 1999 transmission. While likely the same, it's important to verify.

In short, while *possible* with significant work, it's not a simple drop-in replacement. You'd be better off sourcing a 3.3L engine from a similar year 1999 Intrepid to avoid major compatibility headaches. Consult a mechanic specializing in older Chrysler vehicles before attempting this swap.
