well yeh....and thats just the way the engine mounts to the tranny. It is the engine that is going into my new car...which i'll take a picture of later. The pulley on the supercharger is getting changed first though. What engine is this?Posted: Thu Sep 29, 2005 11:03 pm
Looks to me like a big giant supercharger on top of an engine.

. Cop auction special...500 dollars. Minus 120 when we take the car to the crusher. So not too bad for 380 dollars and the car its going into weighs 1k lbs less.

Bonneville, someone tore up the suspension pretty good, the wheels were all over the place when we drug it to the top of our driveway.

That would be a crazy ride.

No, its going into a german car....I'd take a pic of it now but its at our neighbor's house cause we ran out of room for stuff here, and i'm replacing my waterpump that went bad. I'm pretty much done messing with my scoob. I just need to get my ignition timing controller installed and have the car tuned and thats it.

Oh OK. I was getting all excited at the thought of an engine like that in a small awd chassis. The only thing I love more than Buicks (I don't know why), is my SS(I know exactly why). Good luck those 3.8s are tough lumps.

SC V6?
German? <1000lbs?
=Isetta?
oh man if you need help on this project I would love to.
I have many tools and can weld pretty well(mig, tig, gas) but no welder of my own.
seriously if you want some extra hands let me know.

Replace the coilpacks on that 3.8. Trust me.

According to the tickets inside of the vehicle, it belonged to a 20 yr old hispanic male who had two careless driving tickets in a short amount of time. From looking at what's in the car, it looks like his hobby was breaking into other people's cars. There was also a scale for weighing...things..lol.

I'd love to have an old, lightweight porsche to put an updated powerplant into. Sweet.

who cares as long as it goes fast
Posted: Tue Oct 11, 2005 6:24 am
You may not know this...but 911's are damn fast as they are...how do I know this? My father owns one, I have driven it, it hauls ass...and doesn't have an antiquated POS GM pushrod engine in it.
Posted: Tue Oct 11, 2005 7:54 am
oh no, the old pushrod argument 
meh, brand snobbery. You ever driven a v8 swapped 911? I havent either but I have ridden in a 450 horse 383 powered 240z. insane. The benefits of GM motor swaps are many. is it gonna be a concours perfect original car? no. is it gonna haul some serious ass and do it reliably and cheaply? yes. Now Im not saying that porsche engines dont have their place, they are damn cool. but to each their own mkay?
anyone else think a 5.0 would fit nicely in a legacy?

Anything is possable with the right tools, and not to sound TOO cliche, "theres no replacement for displacement"
