RobertISaar Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 some could argue that the last "real" montie was made in 1988, or the early 70s depending how much of a purist you are. what we have on the w platform are 2 door luminas. i did not just go there [/derail] edit: to contribute, if you already have the engine you will just need to swap some of the brackets from the old engine to the new. some mounting points changed between gen1 and gen2, not many though. Edit2: would 2000 have the large port 3100? yes, 2000 would have the LG8, not the L82. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91LuminaEuro Posted May 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Yes that's why I'm curious as to how hard it would be to swap my current engine in, or would it be easier to find a 2000 or newer. 3100? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White93z34 Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 easier to find a new engine, but you could just dump the bigger intakes on the engine you have it can work, just some extra work is required to make it do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91LuminaEuro Posted May 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Sounds ok. I e-mailed this guy, and just left him a phone message http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/cto/1723316949.html Gonna try to pick it up, then sell/trade my car for an engine to drop into it. In his e-mail he said it needs right front suspension work, and the blower motor replaced. Also said it only has like 82k on the clock. So wouldn't be a bad deal.. Hopefully he gets back to me and we can work a deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
