L67 Swap talk time.

[Addicted to eaton]

A few things I would like to say before I get started.

 

Number 1; don’t tell me to swap something else in. Don’t tell me I’m going to catch on fire and have to ride my boat Anker into the water to save my life.

 

Number 2; I will say I like 2 things from 3100’s. The sound and the simplicity of working on them.

 

Number 3; Please don’t start a war on how reliable the 3100 is and why I should keep it, I have thought about it. I have tossed up the idea of supercharging it. No thank you,

 

Now lets get started, We can call this my question time, I have plenty of them. If you have answers I would LOVE to hear from you.

 

Question 1; How do most people swap the motor.

 

I have 2 logics to this. 1, Swap motor, sub frame, rack, a-arms, brakes, transmission, and strut assemblies/axels and all!

 

Logic number 2 Install motor and transmission in place of the 3100 on 1st gens sub frame Or would that even work?

 

Question number 2. Wiring? I have lurked threw l67 threads a lot, Let me get this strait. I need PCM/harness from a 1998 Lumina/monte with a 3800?

 

What am I missing out here? Is there a place I can buy a direct swap for the wiring harness?

 

Oh and do the sub frame bolts from a 1st gen to 2nd gen the same/ same width apart.

Don’t tell me I’m going to catch on fire and have to ride my boat Anker into the water to save my life.

 

i've never had the pleasure of using that one before

 

if you need wiring help, i'm sure i can simplify at least a few things for you. other than that, i really don't belong in this thread.
