    Gonna need some help figuring out what I need to get the gen5 on the NA block for now until I get the cammed engine built. Or should I just do the obvious save the hassels and leave it NA until the cammed block is ready to go??

    So far I have gen5 3.4 pulley lim l67 tb adapter for the gen5 belt wrap kit and is3 cam

    You can use either L32 heads or L67 heads. You will need a custom tune! Gaskets. Double Harmonic balnacer. Fuel rails/injectors (i have a set of heads and balancer)

    Please send me a PM for heads and the pulley parts and injectors I dont think the fuel rails u have will work for a 98 top swap.

    I got a pair of L67 heads balancer and fuel rail, injectors, lower intake (which you can make a gen3 intake genV).

    let me know.

    Just your normal 730whp 4dr family car.

    Glanzer Please PM me with some pics of the heads fuel rail injectors and pulleys and balancer you have, do have the SC tensioner as well and Gen5 swap requires a different alt bracket and coil bracket too right? I have a gen5 LIM also thanks

    u need a 99 style alternator bracket, using the L32 lim makes it a little easier for you. Custom vacuum routing, evap port blocked on s/c, ur also gonna need to make a hole and plug on your t/b adapter for your pcv line

    put the cam in the L36

    Yep thats the plan the L36 will have more compression and swapping the gen5 to a 98 GT will also get me 3.29 gears FTW.

    Vet... FWIW, I'd run the 99-00+ alternator and bracket. It'll give you better clearnace and ... you can retain teh SC to alt bracket support. Even when you IC with a stage 3 cooler.

    Yeah...you know I did.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    I didnt want to run and IC but with the higher compression Im thinkin it would be a good idea. Im hoping to get the cam in and the gen5 swapped on the car by july when my enlistment bonus shows up.
