[QUOTE="DILLARD000, post: 1049849, member: 74901"] Technically, you can replace your 2001 V6~4.0L~SOHC Engin lower block+heads (short block) with any other V6~4.0L~SOHC; you'll just need to remove any different top end fittings from old block & install onto replacement block. If installing a used block, common sense says to pick a newer 2002~2012 block with fewer miles. I'd at least renew all TimingComponents+OilSeals & upgrade OilPump before installing a used replacement. So far as what Californica requires is a whole different question; consult your legal advisor on that one. Do CA inspectors check\compare\confirm engine block serial numbers? Your old 2001 Block possibly has a BalanceShaft, which was not put into later V6~4.0L~SOHC Engines, & is not required, so don't worry about that difference. [/QUOTE]
