those big holes in the front bumper are horrible, he should get some chrome mesh to fix that up :thumbsup:

i was just looking at the S/C 3800 and was wondering how much of a pain would it be to swap it out for our 3400 or is it even possible??

well there's your answer. it is possible, and takes ~250 hours.

pretty sweet.

yeah, and it still doesn't run

[FormulaNERD]

he's just waiting on DHP. no car will run w/o a PCM

[FormulaNERD]

it runs, but the gauge cluster wasnt working, so now he's just waiting on DHP. no newer car will run w/o a PCM.

so basicly a v6 alero can't handle any power as ls1 engine's handle even with the turbo?

[SilverBullet256]

i v-6 alero can handle alot of power, we have s/c alero and springs fastest alero to vouche for that, they can handle alot, but its just easier to get more power to start with a bigger engine :thumbsup:

Do they have any small block engine's to fit in an alero body?

[Youngblood77]

If you have enough cash and time on your hands, you can retro fit just about anything in an Alero. Personally, I'd love to see a rear-drive smallblock retro-fitted in along with an independant rear suspension, but i'm not gonna hold my breath for that to happen.

Has anyone researched swapping in one of the front drive Olds V8s? That would make a sweet finished product IMO. " All-Olds Power " :thumbsup:

[mike2002]

he posts on l67swap.com, there's more problems than the gauge cluster last i heard, but that was about a month or so ago, shifting problems or somthing

the northstar has been done, but that's a cadillac engine, if you would have read his post, you would see that he said all olds power.

[SilverBullet256]

well you if the northstar has been done, then im sure they could get a v-8 from an aurora and have it fit

I'm sure it would hurt the trans, eventually, and possibly the motor. Just ask Springs about boost hurting your motor.

ask away... I never hurt my motor on boost

oldsmobile had a major influence on the the design of the northstar.
much of its stuff was taken from the quad 4

many gm brands co-op on stuff
and for quite a while now all gm's engines have been whored to each division
caddy just happens to be the one with the right price tag to push the northstar
