Dirtbikindud Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 So i have a white 97 grand prix se (w/ series II 3800) and think it looks to plain so i wanted to upgrade and maybe find some gt body parts and maybe some gtp engine parts/ an engine. My engine has 277 xxx kms on it and im wondering weather it is worth it to try putting those engine parts on the engine or just find an engine to swap into there?

JakeMetz63 Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Do you know anything about the L32 and L67? Im not trying to insult or sound rude, just curious if you know anything about these engines. Its not as simple as "putting those engine parts on the engine" in order to make your L36 faster. With that many KMs I would go with a whole new engine/transmission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtbikindud Posted January 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 I know alittle about the engines but not a lot and i think it will be easier and better to put a different engine in instead. thanks for the tips i appreciate the help.

ZZP does make the L36 m90 kit But why bother with that? for a bit more, you can turbo! I say if its running good, turbo it and run it til it blows. Then buy a race block from Intense and have ZZP rebuild the trans. or you can just buy a brand new L32 from GmPartsDirect for $3500. have the trans rebuilt and install new tq converter with it. then your good to go!

digitaloutsider Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 He's got the 4T60, I don't think it's going to stand up to that much abuse before it finally gives out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like the best idea there. While the swap isn't incredibly hard....that 277xxxkm body/chassis is gonna kill ya in the long run.

Only the L67 and LQ1 got the 4T65E in 1997. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
