  2. Introductions for new members
    Well I got my new baby back in April, a 1995 Buick Park Avenue Ultra (freakin mouthful). Needs work so I’ve been digging through old threads across multiple forums about maintenance and possible mods for my series I L67. After weeks of research I’ve decided to tune up and restore performance...

    I've been running this swap for almost 4 years now. Here's what I did; Grab rear lower control arms from a 2000+ lesabre or bonneville, cut off the square part where the hub bearing and caliper bolt up, have a machine shop mill the cut side flat, and drill threads out of hub bolt holes. Use...

    swapping 2000 lesabre 3800 into a 2004 lesabre. Somehow the rear knock sensor was missing in the swapped engine. Can an engine run efficiently with one knock sensor and can I simply plug/seal(screw) the rear one. It looks like the plug for the rear sensor was not connected anyway. Looks like it...

    So I have a quick question, I have a 2002 LeSabre with a cracked head and I want to drop a supercharged L67 into it, but a friend warned me about needing a different ECU to match the new motor. I can't seem to find anywhere online where this process has been done and I'm new to "flashing" ECU's...

    I just brought home the donor car, 2002 buick regal GS. I remember reading that the buick regal computer would work well in this situation, and found a donor of the same year as my van. (buick was a total loss hit in the rear) I probably wont get started on the project until this winter, but...

  14. FWD Transaxle Components
    Does anybody know if would be possible to get rid of the 4t65 and go to a manual trans axle? If it is possible what trans-axle would work best and what kind of custom fab issues would you expect to run into? I've kinda been researching a little bit and from what I've found so far it looks like...

    My name is Alex Carr, I am 19 and I own a '77 nova. I've been building it for the past 2 years and finally came to the conclusion that i'm tired of that old SBC 355. I talked it over with anyone who would listen. After talking to my instructor, and doing some intense research, I decided that...

    Im sure that its somewhere on the fourms, but can anyone give me a complete list of what it takes to do a gen v swap? I have an 04 monte carlo ss s/c with the gen III. What all needs to be done for the swap? Thanks
  18. RWD 3800 Engine Swaps
    When I bought the car, i was looking for something semi-sporty, yet powerful. I have to admit the GTP is pretty stout for stock, however I want to make it unique, I can't afford to rebuild an old muscle car or hot rod. So I guess the first thing I should ask, would be is it possible to convert a...
  19. FWD 3800 Engine Swaps
    I have a 1994 Chevrolet Cavalier and I want to swap in the supercharged 3800 Series 2 engine into it. I was just wondering if i could get some advice for finding the engine, tranny, ecu, and motor mounts for a cheaper price.
