Engine swap quote

[digitaloutsider]

If you want a direct bolt in, go for the 3800 ser. II sc. With a few boltons, they make around 300 hp.

 

I don't think a 3800 SII L67 is a direct bolt-in for a 1st gen GP. It takes a bit of fabrication...

 

 

bolts right in, the wiring is the problem

 

I was under the impression that you have to fabricate a motor mount. Maybe I'll reexamine my sources (and my plans for future engine swap :D )

all you need is the engine, tranny, and axels...and a lot of skill with wiring

:withstupid: Good luck on that wiring though..

as i recall the only thin wrong with ross' current 3.4 is that it needs head gaskets, thats about a $60 job if you do the work yourself.

 

so i say fix that first, and just get over your 3.4 phobia and take a run at it, if i was affraid of "messing something up" i woulda got raped $400 for a damn alternator.

 

look at it this way

WORST CASE: you totally mess up the head gasket replacement, then end up paying that $900 or so for the swap, so you'd be out a total of what $60?

Seriously, do it yourself, way, way way cheaper. I didn't know much, but I did a 3.1l swap myself, with a Chilton manual. Finding an engine hoist could be a problem though. Good luck, either way.

Dude, $900 will buy a LOT of engine tools, stands, hoists, beer. All the essentials needed to Get R Done!!!

 

Helped out on an engine swap and yes you need plenty of beer
