Re: Motor change 2001 Firebird
You can use a series 3 as well.Originally posted by dja2006 View Post
If you use one from a FWD car you will need to change the lower intake manifold and up for it to work, as well as using your current power steering and A/C and oil pan.
I forget if the starter works from the FWD cars or not. But you can 100% use the block, and heads. -

Won't be able to use grand prix heads since the injectors are in the heads, need to reuse the 3.8 heads in current motor along with the intakes too and what was also said about oil pan etc.08' L76 6.0L 4X4 Chevy EXT.Cab LTZ Vortec MAX with Snug top cover, Dynomax exhaust,Hptuners& K&N intake

Never checked, but, I know the S/C GTP engine has the injectors in the heads but are they in the NA GP GT heads also?Originally posted by ssms5411 View Post

Re: Motor change 2001 Firebird
The s/c engine wont work, but the n/a version will. I have a 2008 series 3 in my firebird. When you do the swap you will have to use all of your accessories and intake and oil pan. Pretty much the only thing that swaps over is the valve covers.Team NoVa

I have an L26 in my car as well. N/A injectors are the same as ours in the LIM. The L67 and L32 injectors are in the head.Comment

Re: Motor change 2001 Firebird
pretty sure the s/c version will work...you just need to use your top end parts and you will have slightly lower compression. If he plans to boost the car later, its not a bad deal..Originally posted by flamingchicken View Post

Re: Motor change 2001 Firebird
Ok I have found a 1997 camero motor for 800 will this work I have been told that I have to change over the intake oil pan and pully system is this true or is it just a pull one and put this one in no change over needed ???????Comment

Re: Motor change 2001 Firebird
the block is the same, I think the oil pan is also the same...its just easier to use your top end because the 97 is not DBW and you are.

Be absolutely sure the second engine does not leak or burn oil. I can tell you that you will be kicking yourself if you get a second bad engine.

Re: Motor change 2001 Firebird
Ok gotta pick your brains again I got thru motor that I picked up from a 1997 firebird everything seems good
Everything on my old motor is the same as this motor now my question do I have to tear down both the upper and lower intakes because the upper intake bolts right onto the existing lower intake on new motor It seems to me that the only thing that I have to change is the throttle body and upper intakeComment
