Woah, Thaats Actually possible?!?!?


Recommended Posts

I'm new here, and maybe this has been asked 100 000 000 times but I cant believe I saw a 3.8 SC in a older w-body, tom wright (I think) and that lumina is the first I've seen of it. I've talked with tech's at my work about it countless times and all the answers are that its too much $$$ for the motor and equipment and impossible to wire everything up since grand prix's are already bad for electrical&options. how do people go about this??? is there a wiring kit, do you just bring over the ECM/Harness with it and than plug in what you can and leav e what you cant, do you have to make your own engine mounts?, where do you buy a low mileage 3.8SC etc etc etc

I am stunned, I would love any and all information possible on this

l67swap.com would be your first stop, but there are a few guys on here who also probably have some things to say

The whole powertrain fits like a glove with no need for custom mounts (as long as you get it from a Grand Prix, Regal, or an 04 Monte or Impala.) The only major hurdles are the wiring, making a custom downpipe, plumbing the power steering lines, and having a set of custom axles made. I believe you might have to buy a custom PCM as well.

 

Head over to http://www.l67swap.com . They have some very useful info, plus a forum for you to seek answers to your questions. The owner of the site makes custom harnesses and axles (as long as you provide them, and for a fee.)

Yes its possible and there are many guys that have done it. As a matter of fact, there are two cutty's for sale on here right now that have the l67 swapped in.

No shit. I don't see any l67 owners on here acting high and mighty. May be some on clubgp but this isn't clubgp.

I agree. I don't know why people have beef with the l67, and it seems to be mostly guys with a 3.4 DOHC. This one will be argued to the death...

did I stumble upon somthing? can someone enlighten me on what you guys are talking about. if someone dosent like transplanted 3.8SC's than why not? and as for 3.4DOHC theres more of them in the junkyard than there is on the road

It has to do with people not knowing what they're talking about and running their mouth.. similar to you with "and as for 3.4DOHC theres more of them in the junkyard than there is on the road".

Calm down there Sanchez.... people get angry when the "OMFG You've got an L67" vs 3.4 things come up....

 

I dont think anyone on here HATES the l67, some may not like it. And I've got two 3.4's... they've got alot of problems... but still..

 

You, a newb, saying there's more 3.4's in the jy than on the road is going to get you in ALOT of trouble on here...

The 3800 SC's are just too fast, it's scary and makes people afraid. :)

 

Some people may not like your last statement, but there may actually be some truth to that. There are actually quite a few 3.4 DOHC's in the engine room of the salvage yard I like to visit. Most W-bodies I see around town are 3.1/3100 versions. Maybe those 3.4's were just so hyper-quick, it encouraged the drivers to become wreckless and total their cars. Yup, that must be it! :D

Yeah, but every day I see another W in town and think: "Man that would be nice with an L67 in it"

lmao ya y'think ? maybe thats why I said it, people cant take some razzing they need to grow up. man I got a 2.8 for god sakes I seen snails kick my ass at stop lights big deal I am an adult and therefore am realistic and also I have a sense of humor so humor me here please. damn its a message board take it easy

before some serious stuff goes down like CAPITALS OR SOMTHIN lol

the 3.4 IMO is great for power shows what gm can do if they'd put the pushrods down for a second, BUT being what it is it's expensive to fix and I sure wouldnt attempt it considering all the mechanics I know that refuse to open them up

anyways opinions are just opinions so if they appeal to you than rock that mothfuc*er like its goin outta style

I hate the discssion between the 3.4 and the l67. But I do think Bossman429 said it most truthfully. I think the reasonn the 3.4 advocates hate the l67 is caus they think any nOOb or neone that has little knowledge of engines sees it as the "end all be all" to going fast.
