Hey all!!
I havent been here in a few months, mainly due to my engine blowing. Back in October my Head Gasket blew, i had that all fixed up new upper intake manifold cause that also cracked. After i got it back i was having an issue with the idle surging and loping, CEL code of lean. No matter what my mechanic did, it still happend. Then in mid november im on my way home and it feels like 500lbs gets dropped in to the trunk. i get home, and what do you know, Tick Tick Tick, spun a bearing. SO since then she has been sitting in the back yard as i get funds for one of the two ideas i have.
1) Buy a Re-Manufactured engine and do a basic transplant
-or-
2) Thinking of getting the 5.3L that they use in the monte SS and making a V8 Grand Prix Gt.
Has anyone here attempted to do this kind of swap? Most likley im going to go with the first idea, i found an engine on Autopartswarehouse.com 1,300 free shipping for a long block. Any ideas would be great, Thanks!
