The car as I bought it. '96 3800 with a bad crank position sensor. The donor car is a '94 so the electrical is going to be a headache but ill figure that out when i get there. I got it for $1400 off ebay of all places. This winter I will be swaping the cam for something more aggressive and doing gears.



The Donor car behind it.



V6 before it gets dropped.



Out goes 3800



Out goes LT1



In goes LT1



Almost in



It's in! :sigh of relief:


Now to swap the rear end and wire it up.

The tranny mount for the '96 car is beefier then the 94's. '96 on top

 

wiring shouldnt be that bad. i did the wiring on my friends swap in his 3rd gen in about a day.

 

Guess you don't need a engine hoist when you got a New Holland tractor sitting around. Looking good so far, what kind of headers are those? Any other bolt-ons on the LT motor?

 

Cool, congrats.

I like your garage BTW.

 

Pacesetters. The clearance is SO good. Spark plugs will be no problem now. Other then the LT's ive got a nitrous kit laying around and cupple of other things not worth mentioning.

 

Im in the process of redecorating it... pruning bushes, trimming trees, ext..

 

Yeah, I have Pacesetters on my car, plug access is so much easier compared to stock manifolds it is disgusting. Keep up the good work, let us know when she is finished.

 

Are you going to totally swap both cars? That way you could sell the sixer and get some of the swap money back.

 

In case you didn't notice, that donor car is destroyed

 

Drum brakes are SO much heavier.

 

A missing door shell and minor body damage, does not "destroyed" make.

 

No... but this does...

 

What thats not destroyed, the rims and tires are still good. As long as it rolls it still goes

 

Looks good Mike! Keep the pics coming!
