XG 300 Motor swap
Hello, I have aquired a 2001 XG 300. It has a bad motor. Top and bottom. I am wanting to put in a good used motor from a wrecking yard, however I have a few questions first.
1. What motor should I look for What Vin code or engine sereis? D 8th didget? 3.0, 3.5?
2. What shoud the compression read on a good used motor for this car?
3. Has anyone on this forum done this and do you forsee any complications, or concerns?
Thanks, Rob.

Was thinking of this, however I want it to be a direct swap. I am looking into the Sonata motor. Just would like some answers first. Like if the wiring and computer is the same?

Sonata is different engine family.. your choices is 3.0 (XG 300) or 3.5 (XG 350), as both is MELCO and use the 5 speed trans..
Sonata is 2.7 Siemens and 4 speed transmission.
Hopefully you were not refering to the 2006-present 3.3 engine, major disaster to install and wire.
