    Hey everyone. My friend and I were talking about how I could make my GP GT way faster, and I was saying how I could top swap and all that stuff, then he suggested swapping it with a corvette engine, is that even possible?

    Anything is possible but if you have a 04+ you could swap in a ls4 from the gxp that's the only thing remotely close to a corvette motor that you could fit in there. You friend likely doesn't know much about cars lol

    lol figures. what i'll probably end up doing is top swappin it with a freshened L67, new gaskets all around. Supercharger with a 3.3 pulley, XP cam with the CC105 springs and new viton seals, SSAC headers... install + tune.

    It would be cheaper to do an all out 3800 build.

    If you put a l67 in it it's not top swapping it's just a motor swap. That sounds like a good plan you have there though just remember it's better to have to big of a pulley than to small.

    Good electric guitar bed music, rolling shots you saw... he says at the end "This is my ride, whats yours" and as it goes to the final video, it boosts like a dam turbo diesel and takes off whistling. Not bad, I'd rock it.
