My L67 3800 Swap

[wa2fastcamaro]

Most of you guys probably won't care about this swap, but I swapped a series 2 supercharged motor and tranny into my series 1 93 Bonneville.

This is what I have been doing for the part few weeks.

Started with this, 1993 Bonneville SSE

Had a series 1 supercharged 3800 with 190K on it

Baught a 97 SSEI wrecked with a series 2 supercharger 3800 with only 67K on it.

pulled the motor and swapped it in my old bonne

New motor in car and running great

Nothing too fancy, but it was a hell of a challenge making everyhting work, as it was a obd1 car and now is obd2.

Faster than hell now too, last a lot more power than it used to. Planning custom exhaust for it soon and have a intercooler for the supercharger on order.

Cool swap dude! I was thinking about swapping one of those motors and trans into my old 91 lumina with the 3.1 before I sold it... Saw one guy that did it and it was really cool

How hard would something like that be to do to a 91 regal with a 3.8 tuned port engine in it at the moment...

couldn't tell you, I swapped the whole cradle since them were the same, if the motor and tranny bolt up the same then getting it in the car is easy. They you just got to plumb fuel lines and make a wiring harness.

Ok, cause far as i know it's just basically a series one that's not supercharged...

well the donor car is pretty much gutted as I upgraded most of my 93 to 97 parts, nicer interior, bose radio system, etc...

Tranny shifted great, but has a bad output shaft bearing. If you replaced those bearings, it would work great.

Cool gald to see im not the only one staying busy

[CRX_Civic]

cool swap, i want boost....

Should be fun, with about 240 flywheel hp and 280 torque, it should be a fun winter car. Too bad it weighs about 3500lbs.

Gunna mod it a bit though, intercooler, exhaust, different supercharger pulley and reprogram the ecu.

Apparently these cars will run a 14 sec 1/4 mile. So maybe have to see next year. :icon_cheers:

interesting.

as a matter of fact they do run 14's stock. look in my sig.

My grandpa let me play around with his 98 Park Avenue Ultra last summer. God that thing was fun. Quick as hell too.
