The start of my V6 Swap

[CLEVEN]

Well as some know im taking my twin cam out and puting in a V6 out of my wrecked car. Well here is the start. Got the motor out of the alero today

[PappaSmurf]

What are you doing with the twincam engine? Is it good or whats wrong with it? I would like to know as I am needing (yet) another engine. I have no idea as what is wrong with mine...Too tired of messing with it and havent had time to look into it.
Thanks,

I'm sure you've done all the research and realize that you need to also swap in the harness and PCM along with it. Just sayin.

Good luck, and welcome to the V6 crowd!

why would you switch to the 3400?

[BlackJack]

Maybe he already has the stuff on hand to do it (from another wrecked car he has?) and doesn't have the money to go get his blown engine rebuilt? Just a guess. However, it's hilarious that you say that with the connotation of it being a bad thing.

woot...V6 !!

[Malibu369258]

It's a 3100 out of his rear-ended cutlass....

[CLEVEN]

Yep im puttign my 3100 in it. Well its not a 3400 but i "KNOW" for a fact this motor is good put new heads on it a year ago redid all the gaskets on the engine at the same time, went to and from texas 3 times last year on that motor. But yeah i did all the research befor i even thought about the swap harness,BCM,CPU and a few other things are all going onto the alero i was messuring the mounts all the same. Going about it the right way i hope lol

[CLEVEN]

O and the twin cam is already gone. My budy is a BIG cavy nut he already got the damn thing broken down lol

[CLEVEN]

Well Almost there everything bolted up and now just to get her started

[Cliff8928]

Wow, that's gonna be teh slowness with the vin "M" 3100.

3100 FTL. my LD9 Alero stock > a 3100 Lumina with full exhaust/intake @ the track.

edit: kudos for originality though!

[Ryan from Ohio]

3100 alero better than a blown motor alero!

:lol:

I don't think he was trying to "wow" anybody. You'd have to have followed the other thread where he had a blown motor in his alero, and a wrecked cutlass.

[AlbinoMonkeyRat]

true...I'm just saying, back against the wall, it's okay. Nobody should be making this swap because they think 3100>LD9. Plus, I guess you can fix it up for some minor performance upgrades inexpensively.

[AlbinoMonkeyRat]

any progress on this? I know it's only been a bit over a week, but I am interested in this.

my 3500 swap from the 2.4 cost less than the parts and machine work on the 2.4l.

looks like it is comming along nice!

[CLEVEN]

Yeah everythings bolted in. Nothen but starts than cuts right back off. Bypassed the passlock stell. A guy from gm said i would mabe need a v6 alero computer and wiring harness off a v6. O well she shall sit for a lil tell i get the $$$

[BlackJack]

well, yeah, that just might help.
