Hey guys, I don't really post much on here, I don't have a lot of input for people with questions, I just like to read. I am going to start saving up to do a lot of modifications (visually), and audio. Then once I have my car looking the way I want it to, I was hoping to start working on performance.
From everything I have looked at with the 3800 V6 it seems that they aren't very user friendly engines to work on and the transmission for these engines are pretty much useless, and by that I mean I don't feel like rebuilding a trans all that often.
My question is this, has anybody used a completely different drive-train? Like maybe a 4-cylinder/trans from a Dodge SRT-4? Or a Honda setup? (I know, I know, a Honda setup in a Pontiac... insanity) But you all should get my point though right? I want to look into doing something more performance based, easily accessible to parts, a more reliable transmission under much higher HP like in a turbo setup. I understand that custom mounts would be needed, but would there be any major drawbacks to doing this? Something that would just make this completely impossible? I would appreciate the comments very much, please and thank you.
