MonteC Posted July 11, 2005 Report Posted July 11, 2005 do alternators from the transverse 3.1's fit the RWD 3.1's? in other words do they interchange? Quote
mihela816 Posted July 11, 2005 Report Posted July 11, 2005 If its a CS-130, the only difference is how the case is rotated. And that can be fixed. Quote
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted July 11, 2005 Report Posted July 11, 2005 I don't belive so. Stupid question but what vehicles RWD had a 3.1? Only ones I know of had 2.8s. Quote

I tested out a 80something Firebird 2.8 auto that was for sale for like $700.. cool car but holy fuck was is SLOW! I had my 88 GP 2.8 at the time and it felt like it would whoop in in a race. The guy basically said to go out and drive it and hard as we want, damn thing couldn't even do a brakestand. Quote
mihela816 Posted July 11, 2005 Report Posted July 11, 2005 Back on topic... what alternator does the RWD 3.1 have? If it's a CS-130 it WILL interchange, I know because I'm using an alternator from a 2.5 Lumina, and all that's needed to make it work is rotate the case. Quote
MonteC Posted July 11, 2005 Author Report Posted July 11, 2005 i will check it out after work this afternoon. Quote
DiscoStudd Posted July 11, 2005 Report Posted July 11, 2005 Some CS-130's had different bolt patterns. I thought the same thing many years ago when I grabbed an "off the shelf" alternator that was supposed to fit an 87-91 Grand Am to install in my 93 Cavalier. The alt for the GA had 1 less "eye" on it, and no amount of "clocking" to the case would get it to fit properly (I unbolted the case and clocked the upper housing...) Quote
Lee Posted July 11, 2005 Report Posted July 11, 2005 off-topic. I've seen under the hood of an 80's comaro with a 2.5, 4 cydr, iron duke. 92 wopping horsepower. Quote
Prospeeder Posted July 11, 2005 Report Posted July 11, 2005 omg, 92hp Camero, holy crap thats gotta be slow, they wiegh what? 36-3800 pounds, thats gotta be like, a 20 second car, lol Quote
MonteC Posted July 11, 2005 Author Report Posted July 11, 2005 the 4 bangers were lightened up pretty good. the 2.8 v6'ers came with fiberglass hoods from the factory. but they were considerably lighter than the v8 cars. Quote
