Thread: Blown 3.8 04 GT Lookin to swap

Hi guys, my 04 blew , the connecting rod shot through the bottom of the engine...aka toast! I was wondering if anyone knows how much it would cost me to get a supercharged motor and tranny, and what other things i might need to upgrade or change. My tranny is good but i know it wont handle the supercharged motor for long. Is it worth the swap or should i find a used non supercharged 3.8 and put that in and maybe do a top swap? Suggestions please. Also has that happened to anyone before? Yes there was oil (full) lol....The biggest thing is im headed to the navy in a month and dont know when ill be able to get to it, and might be delayed 1 year...dont know if its worth the hassle, should i just sell it and get a new car once in the navy? I just dont want a lot of problems popping up after i do the swap

Thanks for your input

Im in AZ until the 9th and then ill be in MI....the main thing is the car is in AZ and im not sure if i want to spend $900 to get it shipped to MI

Really? well thats good to know, i heard the GTP trans was better....Also what else would i have to replace on it for it to work properly? Anything? Like i said i just dont want to do the swap and then have to keep putting new parts on it

Ill be flying back...unless you have a crazy engine launching machine that can shot it to the airplane without blowing it up, its a deal lol...Ill keep it as an option for sure though...How many miles is on it?
