I found a complete L67 from engine cover to oil pan for 700 dollars. What are the parts form my engine worth (blower, heads, intake , sensors, complete brackets worth?
11-09-2010
depends on mileage.
11-09-2010
132000 has new rebuilt nose cone
11-09-2010
Warranty?
11-09-2010
I can get a complete L67 with 81,000 for 700 with a 30 day warranty but i can also get 01 3800 (na) with 31,000 for 450. Which way would i get more bang for the buck. cheaper bottom end and my top end with a cam or complete l67 with a pulley swap. going to redo exhaust and tune on either one
11-09-2010
For the price difference you could get the na block with headers and a tune and be faster.
11-09-2010
Do you just swap the blower balancer over to the NA 3800 ?
11-10-2010
Other than swapping the balancer and flywheel over and using my top end I dont see any other mods.
11-10-2010
you need a few pulleys and what not as well.
11-10-2010
And with the install...wiring, sensors...blahblahblah
11-10-2010
Im getting confused, my car is already a factory L67 car. I just want to do a bottom end swap. Shouldnt my sensors and so on be the same?
11-10-2010
Right...then all you'd do is rip everything off the N/A block and stick it in your car. The only thing different is the compression ratio. 8.5:1 in the L67 vs. 9.4:1 in the N/A block. You WILL need headers. You WILL need a custom tune. Bar none.

Oh and the L36 gears on the timing chain have the cam advanced 1* versus an L67 timing set.
Rods are different.... but other than that, same.
11-11-2010
Do i need to pull the cover and set the cam straight up?
11-11-2010
its the gear that sets it off by 1*.
use an L67 gear set and it'll be at 0*.
Use an L36 gear set and it'll be 1* advanced.
That is granted you time it properly with the dots lined up.
11-11-2010
Or, be a boss and have the cam degreed...which no one does, they just shove the cam in and roll with it.
11-11-2010
benefits?
11-11-2010
Unless your on a massive cam and have tight valve to pistion clearance I see no reason to degree this engine. That cam once set isnt going to move like say a newer VVT engine and certianly not advancing or redarding like a DOHC engine. This is pushrods and gear driven timing it doesnt really get any easier.
