corning_d3 Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 So, I got ahold of a complete '93 cadillac with a 4.6 northstar DOHC v-8 and a 4t80e trans. I'm going to use the subframe, lower control arms, steering knucles, struts, drive axles and wheel bearings/hubs out of the caddy and put it under the monte. Space and weight are some small issues, but re- arranging/locating some things should make room and distribute weight a little better. The caddy is 1" wider than the monte, but it shouldn't be much of a problem as far as alignment. I plan on installing the struts into the factory monte location, and slotting the lower strut mount holes to adjust camber. Adjustable upper strut mounts may be a good idea also. I have no idea about what to do with the exhaust. I'm pretty sure the manifold exit by the firewall will be close to the stock 3100 outlet location. Anyone have any tips/ideas/criticism/problems up front advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteMonteZZZ Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Bedivere at MyMonte.com (might be on this board too, not sure) has swapped a northstar into a 1995 Monte Z34. Might look into info from him for good advice. I don't know the details of what year motor, etc he used, but still worth a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
