I was talking with one of my buddies last night and we came to the conclusion to do a motor swap in my car, its not gna be anytime soon as i have to get the money. but were thinking dropping a 383 stroker in it. anyone seen something/done this before? i know its gona be alottt of work but i think in the end itll be an awesome project.

Not really just custom fab as usual. I thought it would be cool to do something like this as well but just dont have the $$/place to do it. There was a guy who dropped in a northstar and it barely fit so you are gonna need a getrag 282 or an auto for it. I would do the 5 speed personally.

cars getting gutted and completely redone. tax returns will be my freind for the next couple yrs. theres a guy that comes in my work who has personally done two diff 350 swaps into 97-03 style GPs and he said its really not all that hard. but i think itll be an awesome one-off car when its done.

do you have the know how to do this? if so then explain to me what needs to be done. not only am i skeptical of you, i want to see if you even know what youre going to have to do besides rip one motor out and try to adapt another motor in.

Swap to rear wheel drive while your at it.

im not the gear head my friend is. so im gna basically be paying for it and learning from helping him install. my dads got plenty of friends who know there way around a car. RWD swap is deff going to be happening. i know theres going to be alot of custom fab thats gona be needed. and wiring harness. suspension upgrade for a bigger motor.

Not to mention gutting the car and building a trans tunnel and driveline tunnel
figuring out the rearend situation and so on
Plus im asumming wirings going to be intresting fuel lines and a laundry list of fun envolved Id love to try something like this but Im pretty sure my wife would divorce me and id be really poor for a while

what we are trying to say is: sell your car and buy something RWD.

id rather keep my car and do it to it because ive never seen it before on a GP. and itd be a oneoff car. once i get my other part of my raise im gona start looking for an 05 GTO prolly

LS4 swap

Its such a huge job tons of fabing and a whole lot of time for trial and error
If you have some one who had done 350 swaps into them then maybe it wont be that bad... Personally i wouldnt touch a job like this for under 15k

350's are gay.

383 if you're going small block...
Get creative and jump for a 572...

if your serious about this, like for real serious...Sorry about your luck but you need to build an entire tube chassis, integrate it into the GP chassis, fully cage it and THEN you MAY be able to get a working rear end under it but still need to do something along the lines of a 4 link rear end...Anyone you know understand how to make a custom 4 link? I helped build a RWD 93 Probe with a 306-C6-8.8 and it was totally retarded! Fast and insane, but stupid amount of time and money

you know its gonna be a lot heavier especially going rwd, your going to ruin a good car for what, i also thought about a v8 but just not enough room without hacking the car all up. you could do it years ago, but now with everything computerized your gonna lose alot of gauges and have cheap gauges stuck everywhere. but its your car so do what you want, more power to you.
