It's in, and it runs!!! (56k, OK)
Well, things are going well, and the new engine started and ran today apparently. I am SOOO pumped about this. Here's a few pics to show you what's going on.
Out with the old 3100 V6: http://Skillz524.homestead.com/files...ject_LQ_01.jpg On its way out: http://Skillz524.homestead.com/files...ject_LQ_02.jpg Empty engine bay!: http://Skillz524.homestead.com/files...ject_LQ_03.jpg Closer look: http://Skillz524.homestead.com/files...ject_LQ_04.jpg Car up on stands: http://Skillz524.homestead.com/files...ject_LQ_05.jpg In with the S/C 3800 V6: http://Skillz524.homestead.com/files...ject_LQ_06.jpg Angle from the intake side: http://Skillz524.homestead.com/files...ject_LQ_07.jpg Under the car: http://Skillz524.homestead.com/files...ject_LQ_08.jpg Finished exhaust: http://Skillz524.homestead.com/files...ject_LQ_09.jpg He had it running today for a short time. Still have a few little things to iron out, but this looks like a lot of fun. I bring it back at the end of May. Then, I'll be able to put up a video or two, and some more pics. |
Dayum, those headers will easily fit in that thing. nice to see you have a real engine in there ;) Looks great.

Oh, you have NO idea how pumped I am about this. The guy doing it has a '96 GP that the L67 has been swapped in to. He's got more mods than I do...mine's mostly stock, AND his is backed by a 5-speed. That thing is quick. Lots of fun. His runs about 102mph in the 1320'. I'm just hoping for 93-95. Not sure how optimistic that is, but that'd be a nice number to see.

That looks good, i bet it will be a blast to drive.

nice conversion... hate the engine though... had a 95 GTP, what a hassle to maintain! good luck though, lots of fun!

Yeah, this is a completely different animal than the 3.4 DOHC. That engine COULD be a good engine, but it had to be maintained particularly well, and yes, maintanence was a pain. This is the engine used in '97+ GTP's and Regal GS's. This particular setup should be in the 260-265HP range, up from the stockers 240.
