Black Adam Posted October 6, 2004 Report Posted October 6, 2004 what do you suggest/what can i do???? i read some of the suggestions on the site but i want to hear first hand accounts of what others have done. oh yeah, got over 100,000 miles on engine Quote
DaveFromColorado Posted October 6, 2004 Report Posted October 6, 2004 yank the motor, and put in a 3400 (3.4 pushrod) and supercharge it! that'd give ya the best* bang for the buck. --Dave. Quote
Dirty Rockstar Posted October 6, 2004 Report Posted October 6, 2004 Definately the 3400 SC'd.. Then dont do up the outside.. Keep it a very plain jane looking car, and race for ownership! ROFL.. jk.. But definately an 00+ 3100, or a 3400 swap SC'd would own.. Im doin a 3100 top end on a 3.1 MPFI block, and Im turboing it 90sEraWhips 1 Quote

Black Adam Posted October 6, 2004 Author Report Posted October 6, 2004 so i should swap my engine, but what about my suspension? or a ecm chip? what size tires are best? anyone make cold air intake for this engine? I'm looking for a laundry list of stuff? also how much does the engine swap cost - in your area- ballpark? Quote

DaveFromColorado Posted October 6, 2004 Report Posted October 6, 2004 I could do an engine swap for you (if you bring me the engine and the car) for 'round $500 - give or take what extra parts I gotta run to the store to pick up to make it work right. --Dave. Quote
Black Adam Posted October 6, 2004 Author Report Posted October 6, 2004 thanks brotha but i'm way out on the east coast. damn that would sweet! Quote
DaveFromColorado Posted October 6, 2004 Report Posted October 6, 2004 well I'm sure there's ton's of shops out there that could do the work for you real easy. also, for the suspension, get the WHOLE FE3 suspension - then start upgrading from there. There's ton's of lil' things people have done on the board here, use the search function to figure out what mods you want that have already been done, and then for mods that haven't been done, bring those up, or if you have a question that you can't find the answer for. --Dave.

digitaloutsider Posted October 6, 2004 Report Posted October 6, 2004 thanks brotha but i'm way out on the east coast.damn that would sweet! Where on the east coast? Shit, I'd do it for the same price. Quote
Euro Posted October 6, 2004 Report Posted October 6, 2004 other than those things already said, you're on your own. not much in the way of aftermarket for the good ole 3.1 lumina. I would invest in a nice exhaust system even if you decide not to do an engine swap. a few places to check out http://www.fastfwdperformance.com http://www.rsmracing.com Quote
