RobertISaar Posted April 30, 2007 Author Report Posted April 30, 2007 as long as you dont take my plans do what you want want to shed some light on this? Quote
19Cutlass94 Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 i dont see why some people have to get so uptight about the modded 2.8 idea x2 cause the motor sucks and theres better ways to spend your money. By the time you get done with the 2.8, youll have the power ofa stock 3400 Quote
digitaloutsider Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 THANK YOU. Give me ONE good reason why it's a good idea to use the 2.8 over say the L67 or 3400, 3500, 3900, etc? You can't use "well, I already have the 2.8" since apparently cost isn't a problem. Quote

You can't use "well, I already have the 2.8" since apparently cost isn't a problem. i did not say it was a good idea. im just saying if you want to have something unique and have some money to dump into it, why not? hell i say we just shut up about it and let him do what he wants. it will be nice to see a fast 2.8 on here.

White93z34 Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 a "fast" 2.8 would be able to run with a stock 3400, and thats not very fast if you ask me. tell you what, I'll quit saying that it is a dumb idea if someone here builds a 2.8 for $5,000 or under that can lay down 240WHP, and be reliable, no nitrous. in a w-car, automatic or manual.

19Cutlass94 Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 and Ill throw in a bag of pizza rolls, whatever flavor you like Quote

per0781 Posted May 1, 2007 Report Posted May 1, 2007 2.8 for $5,000 or under that can lay down 240WHP 240 whp for $5000? thats cheap Quote
White93z34 Posted May 1, 2007 Report Posted May 1, 2007 240 whp for $5000? thats cheap Well for about 5k or under I can get a complete L67/4t65eHD, and all the parts to swap it, plus have some cash left over for mods, and should be able to hit very close if not to that number. anything else you'll give or just stop the hating What? If you are implying that I am "hating" on the 2.8 you are wrong. It is decent reliable transportation. but thats about it. I'm done with this thread, I'll be back when a 2.8 can be fast. Quote

Ingredients for a fast 2.8: 1.) Length of strong rope 2.) '97+ GTP w/ trailer hitch Step 1: Tie the rope to the cradle of the 2.8 car Step 2: Tie the other end of the rope to the hitch on the GTP. Step 3: Get in the GTP and slam the gas. Quote
97loudcut Posted May 2, 2007 Report Posted May 2, 2007 ROFL @ John BTW, this thread sucks. 2.8L and fast will never be in the same sentence, atleast when referring to w-bodys. Quote

97loudcut Posted May 2, 2007 Report Posted May 2, 2007 Huh? Most towing is done with boosted vehicles. (I.E. Semis, Trucks, Bus) Quote
Monkton Posted May 2, 2007 Report Posted May 2, 2007 Oh well I thought I remembered seeing someone caution one of the members here with a 3.8 supercharged regal about towing... my bad haha Quote
Brian P Posted May 2, 2007 Report Posted May 2, 2007 Yes the answer to anything and everything is L67. You guys like really, REALLY need to get out more. GM has engines out making as much, or more power, without a blower. Why has it become like the end-all be-all solution to anyone's desires up in here? 240 whp for $5000? thats cheap Well for about 5k or under I can get a complete L67/4t65eHD, and all the parts to swap it, plus have some cash left over for mods, and should be able to hit very close if not to that number. anything else you'll give or just stop the hating What?

RobertISaar Posted May 2, 2007 Author Report Posted May 2, 2007 well, this is a bit off topic but i didnt know the 3900 was a 60*motor. when do you think that'll become a popular crate motor? Quote
97loudcut Posted May 2, 2007 Report Posted May 2, 2007 The 3900 is HUGE. I doubt it would fit in any of our cars. Quote
19Cutlass94 Posted May 2, 2007 Report Posted May 2, 2007 Yes it will fit. Hell, people are swapping LS1's into first gens now. Quote
Euro Posted May 2, 2007 Report Posted May 2, 2007 Yes it will fit. Hell, people are swapping LS1's into first gens now. who the hell is doing that? Quote
