How to pull an engine: BillBoost Style

**BillBoost37** · 02-15-2013

Jeff,

Assuming the Regal is charged (aka GS) only because you mention having a charger. No it's not 100% direct drop in. I have nearly this same swap in my Regal GS.

Flex needs to be considered. NA is a 245mm TC bolt pattern, SC is 258mm. The balance is slightly different, but not enough to stop a guy from swapping the flex to the other motor. (I swapped mine, no problems)

You'll need your pcm to be tuned to put in the NA engine with the 2.93 SC transmission gearing and change shift points for the different power level.

Then there's the fuel line change. Either a dorman repair kit to change them over or braided etc.

Bill,
Thanks...yes that is exactly what we are doing; we are putting the engine out of the impala into the Regal GS. We started yesterday pulling the engine; my son is doing all the "undercar" work as I have paid my dues in that area. Your writeup was invaluable!

We are quite a bit slower though...We worked at least four hours and are stuck because we did not have the fuel line disconnect tool. Which dorman kit is used for the change over? I expect the pull from the Implala will go much quicker.

Thanks again for the writeup and pics.

Hi again Bill,
Engien is in the regal. I checked with our loca auto parts guys for a a dorman kit for the fule injection; can you please point me in the right direction? I see Rock Auto has some FI connecter repair kits for the 3800 Implala; are these what you were referring to? More Information for DORMAN 800058
Thanks again,

Jeff
