GrandPrix98GT Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 ok, my friend has a '95 Olds Cutlass Supreme (its a real nice "Grandma's Car" as he calls it) but the engine blew up on him over the weekend and he is either gonna have to get a new engine or new car. and we're both looking for engines for the car. we have a friend who would do the swap for cheap ($300) but we gotta get an engine first. like if we found a wrecked Cutlass or other W-Body's (Grand Prix's or Monte's....)... k, say GP engines... would they fit right into the engine bay no problem or..? would any "major" work have to be done (major !=just teh engine swap), major as in whatever? :x :? yeah.. me and him arent too engine savvy and dont know how that crap works, but he needs an engine soon Quote
supreme_style21 Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 If your friend is doing the swap for 300 bucks, chances are he's planning on putting the 3100 engine back in there.. so buy another 3100. You can swap a 3800 in there and it'll fit perfect, but I bet your buddy won't be too happy with only 300 bucks. Quote
gp90se Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 L67 bolts in but the wiring can be a bitch. goto a 3400, same harness and bout 15 horses/20 feet torque more. -Jeff Quote
ThunderBat Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 a blown small block in a CRX?!!...now thats what I call a full load bay! Quote
gp90se Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 We dont have no stinkin small blocks around here, thats a 454 .030 (468) with a 6-71 blower, and i think a 200 shot, 1000 HP at the wheels runs it 8.8 1/4 mile. fully built subframe for it 2 sit on and a custom transaxle. -Jeff Quote
GrandPrix98GT Posted February 19, 2004 Author Report Posted February 19, 2004 the actual swap would be $300.. which yeah its cheap, but we know the guy doing it.. and he's done good work for us before (been my personal mechanic for like 2 years, and my parent's for like 5 years). we're looking around for 3100 and 3400 engines (cause i dont think his tranny could hold a 3800 L36 or L67 engine from a GT or GTP). from GP SE's and other Olds,etc. but whatever :oops: Quote
slick Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 Since your only down in Dayton, I know a few places up around my way that has 3100/3400's cheaper than $300. One is called Pollings Auto Yard(i think). Its on 25A inbetween Piqua and Troy. One of my beretta buddies was thinking about getting a 3400 from that yard. They was only asking $250 for it. Quote
