luminal67 Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 it's not hard and the possibilities are endless. There is no use to mod a 3.1 or a 3.4. you can only go so far, then it gets expensive. A 3800 is easier to work on as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdman Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 wow well you might want to learn quick that people on here dont like threads or comments like this and it will get you banned sooner or later. plus, everything has a 3800, the LQ1 is more rare and easier to sneak up on unsuspecting rice 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patgizz Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 just a retard looking for a fight. only reason i'd swap in an L67 is if i wanted to BBQ over an engine fire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skalor Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 I don't think it's the only way to go, but it's certainly the easy way. On a side note, I've heard that LQ1s actually weigh more than L67s. Which puts an interesting twist on the whole boat anchor comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All five of them in the family runs like fucking clocks! OK, they aren't quick for drag racing, but it still beats a fucking 4 banger, and many other competitors v6s!!!

Guest donkeykongrape Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 Yes I like my 3.1 too, it has a shitload of low end torque it never ceases to amaze me...but I still must agree with the original poster... the 3800 series have so much more performance options than any others that fit in these slow friggin cars 8) There's a reason why everyone swaps the L67 in...it's fast! Who cares about originality...the numbers on your 1/4 mile time is all that counts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luminal67 Posted February 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 I'm not trying to start a fight. I just wondered why not more people do the swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERDUTYD Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 plus not everyone wants to pull there perfectly good engine and transmission and axles for that matter just for more power. plus some people need to drive their cars and don't want to have them down how ever long it takes to swap. maybe when my engine goes, but still most likely will go with the 3400.

THe_DeTAiL3R Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 I'm planning on having my car 3800 powered in the future, but I would never put down 60* engines by any means. I think it would be awsome to build up a screaming 3.4DOHC, but for many people (like me) cheap 300hp is easiest done by the bigger engine.
