Re: Blown motor

Oops we kinda took over the thread!

I say rebuild! With much better internals!
Heres the thread that has the A4 to M5 swap

Btw, I already knew that tacreations was for our cars and all. I was just wondering if it was a upullit. I like pull its cuz the stuff is so damn cheap, and they come with warranties!

I can install your motor at my shop in Deerfield, and super/turbo charge it as well if you wish. We have a slew of CNC machines, welders, air tools etc. If you look around, you can see some of my work...

GM charges a lot, and charges book time, not actual time ;). You are going to pay more for the installation than the engine.

Re: Blown motor

Gm express is charging me 500 which 2 me is a great price though!!

Re: Blown motor

wat can u offer me??? Im really tight in money..lol

[Forced_Firebird]

Re: Blown motor

$1-200 less, depending on if you are going to leave me your old motor ;). $500 isn't bad from a dealership, though, but I have found they are no better mechanics there just because the GM logo on the garage. With a price that low, I'm guessing you have a complete motor to swap in, or are you missing the heads (or only intake/exhaust) on the new motor?

I would also be interested in using your car to build and test fit some turbo headers and maybe a S/C. Since my car is a 60* motor and a 3rd gen, I have no way to mock up parts.

You can PM me at FTV6 with your e-mail address, I only allow known addresses to go through my box. You live near my mother-in-law, and I lve in Coral Springs.

Is your car a daily driver? If so, we would have to have the motor swapped in a weekend probably?

Re: Blown motor

I trust Gm express because they do specialize in our type of cars. I c people at the track everyday with the gm express decal on their cars so i know for sure that they r great in wat they r doing and my bro always takes his formula there and always do an awesome job. I know the person there thats going to install my engine thats y i trust them so much... O yeah it is my daily driver, im 16 and im dying to get my licence in 13 days...lol:banana: .. Yeah man but sorry forced firebird there's no way i can come up wth more than 800 dollars none the less 500.lol
