Thread: Is it possible to?

Is it posssible to use a uim from a trans am or camaro on a grand prix? there the same engine so I would assume so but I've never seen it done

turbo guys do that alot

do you have to change anything on the lim or does it bolt right together?

the throttle body seems like it would be pointing in the wrong direction

it would be facing the passenger side, yes.

however, it makes it really easy to run piping for a front mount intercooler on a turbo setup.

Unless you are going turbo I dont see it being cost efficient.

Its a grand prix nothing about it is cost efficient...

also I'm guessing my hv3 probally won't fit right in there hmmm...

Excuse me? These cars are cheap as hell to mod compared to others.

You can also use the exhaust manifold from the fbody 3800 on a turbo setup instead of having to make a blockoff plate for our rear and it also cleans it up...

Its all worthless I already got over 13 grand in my prix at this point I'm keeping It untill I die because Im basically writing the car off every year or so...

All this negative needs to stop I'm just looking for cool Idea's so down the road I can take my money hole out to shows or whatecer and be proud of it instead of hide it like the mistake it is lol,

So thank you to all the answers even the negetive ones too.

No problem man like I said I'm just looking at out of the box ideas it will be more work but I'm going for somthing that looks just crazy I plan on doing wire tuck I don't know if I'll shave it but I look at it this way, I just enjoy doing it If I bought a 1980 ford escort I'd still be in the same boat with even less respect lol

13k and you're not blown? c'mon mannnnnnn lol

The LIM of the fbody should bolt to your prix just fine. Your gonna need some kind of funny radiator hose though. The inlet for the coolant will be on the passenger side of the engine bay now. I don't think the LIM from your prix will work with the fbody UIM so there isn't really a way around it.

Turbo??? Um yes please!
