Alero Swap
Just want some good pointers and comments, keep all the bad comments to yourselves.
I drive a 3.4l Alero 2 door. I like making my own trends and builds, Im not the one to follow other peoples builds, swaps, etc. Ive been doing some homework and I wanna swap out the engine for a Acura (honda) J-series engine. the J35a3 is my first choice. It should fit in the Alero, considering many factors. But most important both engines are 60 degree v6's. the J35a3 has 240hp @5800rpm and 253lb-ft @4400rpm. it has more power and as well is the same size. also they make alot more parts for it to increase performance and drivability. I know custom mounts and all that stuff is gonna be thrown in there as well. but Im determined to get the swap done.
For all the people who read this and say "why would you swap a honda engine in an american car wtf is wrong with you".. the J35a3 was used in the GM Saturn Vue and GM switched the design of the crankshaft from the forged steel in the j35a3 to the cast iron crankshaft from the j35a4. GM refers to this motor as the GM L66.
Believe me no one can put me down, but I just want other peoples feedback. Let me know.
