![]() Firstly, I would like to apologize right now if this thread does not belong here. I don't know where it would go, Mod, please kindly move this if it is not in the proper location. Thanks!
I want to swap in a 3.5L DOHC LX5 V6 from an Oldsmobile Intrigue or Aurora. Yes, I am crazy. ![]() The main issues I can see are harness swap, bellhousing compatibility, and not being able to find a way to turn the upper plenum around (somehow) since it is only available in a transverse architecture. I'm looking for thoughts from optimists please. I can already come up with a lot of reasons why it WON'T work. ![]() Thank you!

![]() AWESOME! I think it will be a challenge for sure. But I'm looking for a challenge and it looks like the rewards will be worth it .

![]() You could always attempt to convert the camaro to FWD instead of turning plenum haha.

![]() There is a pic on google of someone who put a s/c on one! (Fiero guys are crazier than I am!) So I think that it will be possible to hopefully put a 3.8 UIM on it or something... If all else fails, I have a Cavalier I can put the Shortstar in and then put my Series I L67 in the 'Maro! But I want to try!

![]() WAHAHAHA! Right?? That's what EVERY OTHER Chevy is for! In the days where most Monte Carlos you can remember are FWD, it's kind of a grail to have RWD.
I am hoping that the starter (I'm going to the JY later today to start on the disconnect..) will not interfere with the steering column. I know SO LITTLE about the Shortstar. It may be that the starter is between cylinder banks like the N* and I hope it is. Any input? How much success have people had with putting FWD engines in our F-Bodies?

I read somewhere that the bellhousing on the LX5 is the same as the 60º V6's like the 3400. I wonder if you could use that to solve your transmission mating problems. |
