    I believe it hasn't been done on an 04+ yet. The only difference would probably be the aluminum subframe not having mount holes for the 284. It was recently done to a 2000 Impala over on NAIOA: http://www.naioa.com/v2/modules.php?...wtopic&t=47570

    Somebody with a 3rd gen, time, cash, and will, needs to step up to the plate for all of us dreamers. Please?

    The F40 requires a lot of custom stuff...the 284 could be done with a steel subframe. I just did my 284 swap...it's a lot of work. Especially when the trans is toast and I need to find another one.

    Once my bank account says I can, I plan to be the first one to do it. Either a Getrag 284 or F40, whichever is easier to obtain. Im banking around $6,500 for a shop to do it. You all think that sounds about right?

    With the amount of fab needed, that'll cover the fab work.

    $8,000 a bit closer?

    Well if you buy the f40 swap on here then you'd have quite a bit towards labor. It isn't cheap and expect the car to be down awhile.

    So its easier to swap a 284 than an F40?

    Neither really. The 284 is elusive...I know I'm trying to find one to replace mine now (for a decent price.) The F40 may be easier to source. Also, the amount of fab I have into my setup is ludicrous.

    It's all trial and error stuff. Check out my build thread in the Member's Rides section. Look for the IncREDihoopdy 5 speed build.

    Your build just made me want to quit my job and do this conversion. I take it the Series II and Series III have the same bolt pattern for the transmission?
