97rs4life Posted February 9, 2005 Report Posted February 9, 2005 How much does it cost to swap a 3100 to a L67 supercharged engine if I do all the labor myself? I have a friend who has a 95 cutty that just died on him and we are looking at other options for his engine. I seen the list of things needed on l67swap.com but just curious what a total price would be roughly? Anyone who has done the swap PLMK, thanks! Quote
terryk2003 Posted February 9, 2005 Report Posted February 9, 2005 from l67swap.com Average total cost is about $2200 without any additional modifications to a basic swap. Allow extra for 'snags', unforseen problems or rework. Quote
brianteel Posted February 9, 2005 Report Posted February 9, 2005 yeah you are looking at 1500 for motor trans and harness...you will need a pcm 250 and then axles which I think are 300 (they are custom). if you do the install yourself then that is $0 other wise you are looking at 1200-2000. other things are belts filters and fluids Quote
Jamz Posted February 9, 2005 Report Posted February 9, 2005 According to what i saw , heard , and experienced , this swap is useless . I saw a 3400 5 speed ( j body ) faster than a 4 speed suto 3800 SC ( J body ) at the drag and i heard ALL the guys from 60degreev6 tell the same thing . But in our car , i just dont know ... maybe there is some other better things to do anyway 2200 is not that exensive for a swap , compare to the 10000 you need in a J-body Quote
brianteel Posted February 9, 2005 Report Posted February 9, 2005 the difference is traction and wieght of a car...also what work was done to each....not to knock 60degreeV6 but alot of those guys dont like the L67 motor for various reasons....the same way people on other sites dont like the 60degreeV6 motor......you just have to decide on how fast you want to go and for how much money Quote
97rs4life Posted February 9, 2005 Author Report Posted February 9, 2005 alright I found a guy that will sell me everything needed for the swap for $1400. Looks like that might be the way to go then. Quote
brianteel Posted February 9, 2005 Report Posted February 9, 2005 what car is it from and what year Quote

97rs4life Posted February 9, 2005 Author Report Posted February 9, 2005 what car is it from and what year not sure yet, he is getting back to me, he has 97-99 gtps that he is parting though Quote
Brian P Posted February 9, 2005 Report Posted February 9, 2005 If it costs $2200 for everything, just buy a 97-98 GTP. That's the going rate for one of those POS's thru the newspaper. Save ya the work too. Quote
okidedrak Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 jealous ppl bash on the L67s and the GTPs...tsk tsk Quote
digitaloutsider Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 No one's bashing the L67 or the GTP. But, if you want the L67 power, and it's going to cost you nearly the same price fot the swap, just buy the whole goddamn GTP. Quote
cryptnix Posted February 12, 2005 Report Posted February 12, 2005 If you want rev and your nuts go with the 3.4 and swap to chain driven, then turbo charge the bitch and be done with it. You want some old school quick power go with the L67 just because of the fact that it is PROVEN technology. Old, but proven. theirs my two sense. the 60* is proven by one thing that normally aspirated it can make some power ... but when its forced fed it likes to eat head gaskets, and a few other things ... the 90* 3800 can take the power either way ... supercharged/turbo charged safely. basically the overruling one ... is aftermarket which one has it. the 90* boat ancor..

EurosportZ34 Posted February 12, 2005 Report Posted February 12, 2005 just get a GTP!! a 3.4 GTP that is ...hehehe.... Quote
