Disbass69 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 I've been kicking this idea around for awhile now. Dropping a L67 into my 1992 GP. I know it can be done but my question is will it bolt up to the 284? Will the 284 handle it? I'm going to keep the stock supercharger on but I'll do all the minor bolt ons Any one seen one done?

Night Fury Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Don't do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disbass69 Posted September 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Why not though? I think it would be kind of cool just concerns me no one has done it yet. Is there something I'm missing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disbass69 Posted September 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 I know the 3800 swap is common, what makes the 5 speed weird? Like I said I've never seen it done. I think I saw a 98 5 speed swapped but that is about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich17 Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 It can be done. But to be honest your car looks great as is. And keeping it stock will be more fun in the long run. 284 cars are getting harder and harder to find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Fury Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 ^^This. Just getting a first gen into 100% perfect running order is damn near impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outonthetiles Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 3800 + 284 = fun times.. Just don't break it, cause replacements are scarce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bake82 Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Biggest pain in the ass is the oil filter adapter to not hit the pass side axle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outonthetiles Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Biggest pain in the ass is the oil filter adapter to not hit the pass side axle Just need to find one from a Buick Reatta, grind off the top part where the pressure sender screws in and weld the hole shut. Also need the aluminum oil pan and mounting setup from an 05+ GP. ZZP has a spacer that sets the OFA out 1/8in or so that I had to use for clearance with the oil pan. Biggest pain in the ass is finding swap parts.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmasterz28 Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Here's one there's more. But in a 97-03 Grand Prix. Frist gen would be a little easier clutch pedal would fit right in and other stuff. http://www.w-body.com/showthread.php/40652-Kuntzie-s-01-Turbo-GT-5-speed-thread-pg-10-extra-special-sunday-delivery!
