    well there is no covet 2.5.

    but again, define swap. Just engine settings copied over or entire engine mesh swapped in?

    jbeam wise. Copying and renaming an existing pessima engine is pretty straight forward, then you can just copy the covet engine and engine torque settings over the pessima ones in the duplicated engine.
    mesh. Learn blender.

    Just the jbeam. There is a problem and all my vehicle files were deleted so can I still do it without the original Jbeam?

    Already said. Duplicate the cars original engine part. Change the engine settings.

    You can get all the vehicle files from C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\BeamNG.drive\content\vehicles.

    If all your files are gone. Go to steam, your library, find BeamNG.drive, right click -> properties, local files tab, and click verify integrity of game cache. This will get the missing files back. If no files get replaced then nothing is missing. If it says "found x amount of incongruities, getting missing files" then that means there were actually some files missing.

    If all else fails, reinstall.
