im thinking about swapping a gn motor into my car, doesnt seem to be too much trouble other than motor mounts. anyone got any info on the swap? thanks
this is not going to be any sort of high powered turbo car, just a basically stock rebuild with an upgraded turbo.

You might want to mention what kind of chassis you are talking about.... or is this info encrypted in the "chy20k1" screen name?

 

sorry, its a 93 firebird. id like to go for something a little more "stealth" i dont want your average lt1 firebird. -dave

 

not sure if the 4l60 hydromatic which if i remember right is what came in the 93 v8s i konw it came in the v6's if it will bolt up. if it wont then i woudl suggest buying a bunch of parts from bmr. trans cross brace for a th350. and kmember or just change the mounts. not sure what all you will need. never done a v8-turbov6 swap. but im in the process of doing a v6-350carbed swap on my 93

 

If you do it, I'd try to swap the motor/tranny/ECM all at one time. The 200-4R's are good transmission, even if they're a little bothersome to work with. Best of luck getting the factory speedo and gauges to cooperate with the swap though.

 

I believe there was a GMHTP that had an f-body that had a gn swapped car in it....Had an pretty good article if I am not mistaken.....I will look for it for ya....

 

guys name is steve kaminski....his was a 93 firebird...all call him today...its not as simple as you think!

 

I'm gonna have to agree. I looked into it. There's a lot to do. On the surface it looks fairly simple to do, but to have it be OE looking and functioning there's a lot of hybridity to work in.

 

Nothing like resurrecting a 10-month old thread, then deleting the post.
