    What's good with everyone? not much here, just at work bored, thought i might hit up the site and see if i could get some answers i have been driving myself nuts with lol!! Ok so i have a 99 pontiac grand prix gt, 184,000 miles on it,,pretty decent exterior, i just put a ram air hood on it recently, kept it in pretty good condition. I will have it paid off in March 2009 Well recently it started this light tapping noise, and wasn't sure what it was, well a few weeks went by and then it became a bangin noise!! then a few more weeks went by and it has subsided again? Took it to 5 mechanics including the dealership and they all told me something different, totally contridicting each other!!! Whats really crazy is the dealership told me for 600. they would tear it down, then tell me what else i would owe from there lmao!! As i said earlier it has a ton of miles on it, but i love this car, and want to keep it so i had already decided i was going to replace the engine once i got it paid off! (JUst hope it makes it till March!!) Anyways it has the 3.8 series II/non supercharged in it now, and im wanting to replace it with the L67 supercharged moter, and hd trans!! I guess my main question would be, is this a good choice? are there other engines that are better for my car as far as performance, would hook up the same!! I read an article on car domain where a guy said he had the L67, spun a rod bearing, and was now happy cause he could put in an L32 or L26? Wondering why he would like those better than the L67? Also if anyone here in Oklahoma City is in here, hit me up, wanting to join a gp club Any answers are appreciated
