Recommended Posts

Posted

Hey all where are the sites that pertain to the 4.9 like Fiero Addiction. I want to learn more and more about this sway so i can make the swap easier. Like what mods are needed for the added weight of the V8? I plan on making the suff myself like the AC Lines, Mounts and whatever may be needed. Help me V8 Guys. For now I'm driving the anemc 3.1. :confused:

don't get me wrong, but I think the L67 is a much better swap for your car...its also much more well known

Yea i love that idea too. Basically its whatever i get my hands on first. But too have a Lumina sound like my '68 Impala 396 would be awesome. Thats another project thats taking my time so the Lumina isn't a concern YET. Dollar for dollar the 3.8 is more money and the 4.9 has a way better tone. I got it i'll buy two Luminas and convert them, one a 3.8 and a 4.9. Your opionions?

L67 would be cheaper than the 4.9 and much more performance! Or you can get your hands on a new caddy STS 3.5 (3.6?) 300 hp V6

Iron heads clamping wet-sleeve cylinders into an aluminum block doesn't ever sound like a great idea to me...

The 4.9 is an underpowered POS. The L67 is a FAR FAR FAR better choice in terms of ease of installation and maximum performance capabilities.
