check out j-body.org
there's a guy, raven, who did it to his cavalier. should give you more insight, as this site is more cosmetically driven than performance.

damn, i was hoping there would be more on this bc i was hoping to swap either this or that 5.3 v8 that they throw in the Monte Carlo. Just ideas i was throwing around, but there is a junkyard near me with a wrecked GTP with working engine and a wrecked Monte SS with the 5.3 still working

not too clear on it but ive been reading up on this for the past few hours...... and apparently alot of people are favoring smaller more lighter motors with big power over big bulky heavy motors with big power.
the 3800pro guys have nice times and powerfull L67's but the L67 is signifficantly more heavy than the LA1 or a 2.2
so gosh im on the fence about finding a eco and building it up and swapping or L67

well im doing series 1 3800 s/c swap i have engine tranny axles engine is complete as it gets right now without the body. i also have the pcm ecm just need the wiring harness then im good to go. so far it looks like the motor mounts that attach to the side of the engine shouldnt be that hard to get to work.

well here is video of my engine is only short 15 sec video couldnt really show that much ill have to film more to show u it all engine tranny and axles complete
http://videos.streetfire.net/video/0...8700d201e1.htm
im going to try to figure out how to get it so i can see the engine run on the pallet. i done it with a 350 but carbed engines are so much easier to get to run on a pallet.
