Components of an automotive car that are impacted due to change in the engine
(OP)
Hello all - I am analyzing two vehicle Bills of Material to see the impact due to changing the engine (say from a 1.6L Turbo diesel to a 1.4 L Gasoline engine). What are the major parts of the vehicle that would be impacted? For example - the fuel tank, fuel filter, catalytic converters and possibly starter motors are obvious parts that are impacted due to engine type. Appreciate if someone can share their insights. Thanks, Subramanian V

Engine mounts. Subframe, if the engine mounts are in different places. Sound insulation around the engine compartment (diesels often have more of it). Front suspension springs and dampers, if the engine is of significantly different weight.

This is not a complete list. I don't have time for that but this will maybe help get the wheels turning.
Transmission gearing, frame rigidity, suspension, fuel pump, controls systems(ecu), cooling system (radiator sizing), power brakes/steering systems have different options
