Re: Attn GM guys: need some info for a new project!!!
 

Thanks for the info guys. As to the sbc comments, like I said earlier...I've already had one. Been there, done that. And for those of you that have never had one you've obviously never heard of header clearance issues or overheating problems that a good 85% of them have. Plus since it's a mini-truck I'm going to do a 4" body drop on it as well, so that cuts down quite a bit on hood clearance and such. The motor that's in it is a 2nd gen 2.8 with really low miles, but that 3.4 swap is looking mighty tasty. Really I want to dump as little money into the engine as possible to get a few extra ponies out of it. The 3800 series is also an option, but might be a little harder getting things to work, especially with swapping harnesses and ecu pieces to get it to run right. I'd rather swap a GN 3.8 turbo in at that point. :P I also have access to quite a few 3.1's, although from what I understand they're pretty much a stroked out 2.8.

Sorry Buk, even though it would be one hell of a respectable swap, cheapness is of the essence here lol.

I'm not looking to make mind shattering power here either, it's a mini truck for ----'s sake...I'd be very happy with a mid 200hp setup with a nice fat torque number to go with it. :D

2JZ-GE are a dime a dozen. Toyota put them in everything, they never break, so the junkyards are full of fucked up vehicles with perfectly good 2JZ that nobody wants because they don't break. Did I mention they don't break?

I've seen complete good GE swaps for $200-350 if you just look.

Interesting...

That gives me a good idea. I do love the sound of a Toyota I6, hell most I6s.

;D

Re: Attn GM guys: need some info for a new project!!!
 

You've known what to do all along. Or how about a Syclone or Typhoon motor swap, although that might be hard to find. Or better yet, how 'bout build a bastard. 2.3T Ford SVO engine. That would be a twist since ppl are now into throwing SBC's into foxbody Mustangs, at least here in the south they are.

JD, is the 4.3 in the GMC turbo trucks a faulty engine as well?

Re: Attn GM guys: need some info for a new project!!!
 

How much for said repairable sc300?....I'm just curious as to what you think it's worth.

Re: Attn GM guys: need some info for a new project!!!
 

I wish they were a dime a dozen where I live, then I'd seriously look into it. I live in the sort of fucked up area where people don't buy a car/truck/suv unless it's got a ford/chevy/dodge emblem on it. Anything else is considered rare except for auto tranny non-turbo 95-99 eclipses. :P
