Hey Check this out http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_im ... 314_34.jpg :lol:

Hey Bourbon good luck, let us know what you decide to do. Because from what the specs show the 3.8L has all the torque you need just lacks hp. Me personally I was too scared after listening to everybody talk bad about the N/A 3.8 I buckled and went with a v8 which the swap is going well.But keep...

I'm assuming you've never driven over 45 mph and had to come to a complete stop!!! "from my experience big wheels do more than make the brakes squeal but i gaurantee you will change out your pads more than normally if still using all stock components."

My Opinion The swap is scary at first but actually now that I started its fairly as simple as a sbc swap with more technology. Now it is expensive if you decide to go with the painless wiring kit, and ac relocated kit(as I did) But there are companies such as howell that make harnesses...

do it the right way Here at my shop we have lots of guys wanting to put bigger rims on there gbodys. there is a easy way clear the car for 22's or even up to 24s by using airshocks in the rear and chevy 1500 springs in the front(car rides like ****) and the stopping power is terrible. To lift...

I can't get a 3.8 to roar like a monster with 40 a twin set of 40 series motor.

Hey Jim Did you weld your mounts down as well. Let me know how it rides am doing the same swap as well I hope to have some pics up by the end of this month of my progress.

Does anyone have a clue if the stock 87 GN fuel pump is sufficent enough to feed a mpi Lt1 Engine?

Dont waist your money an a olds 307 unless your looking just for dependabilty which you can get out of your 231. Now if you found an older model sbc307 that would make a great build.

Not a bad idea i can find way more of those than a 442 or GN. I think i will research it some more. :D :P

Before i lucked up on my brother sad day of wrecking his impala ss i was going to go with the same set-up mainly for the warranty as well. But many engine rebuilders offer a limited warranty but not as good as gm's. If the warranty is not so much an issue as the cost and value i would find a...

what i think I would go ahead and replace all the front end parts such as springs, tie rods inner and outer. If it was a v6 car like mine was(is) I would definetly replace those springs. But if thats all done you should start with rear up and yeah buying a set of gears or a posi-unit I dont...

That looks good, what did does seats come out of as well?

Gotta stick with GM I would go for a 5 speed cavalier z24 there pretty easy to work on in my opinion.

Where they a direct bolt in or did you have to do any mods? what about the console would it go in as well?
