L32 bottom end swap?

[UDLOSE98]

Would a bottom end out of an L32 bolt up to the camaros trans?, or bolt up to the car in general?

Since the L32 is the 3.4... yes. I think you mean the LC2 GN/GNX motor then I have no idea. :p

Re: L32 bottom end swap?

L32 is also a 3.8

there are 2 diff. L32's

One for SC, one 3.4

I mean the 3.8

and also let me re-phrase my question, what is THE BEST SSSTTTTOOOOCCCKKKK bottom end availabe for boost, I heard L26, but I dont know how these will bolt up to the 4L60E. Or the the heads front cover, everything.

Are you looking to just buy a complete shortblock and not mess with building one up I take it? Cuz you can just go with l32 rods and then get a nice set of coated pistons to go with them and you will be sitting nicely. I myself bought a set of l32 rods for my motor build. I found a bare block and crank from a buick car that originally was a l67 engine. I am collecting the pieces for that as I go.

I know the upper part of the L26 is the same. I'm putting L26 Heads on my car right now.

Do the L26 heads flow better than the L36 heads?

And yes, one of my thoughts is to take a stock L32 and swap, but now I dont think the heads will swap.

I dunno, I just got it because I didnt want to rebuild my heads. (My old heads leak oil so, Im guessing bad valve seals)
