  • chevy small block in place of 3100

    ive decided if im going to do a motorswap..its going to be for something crazy like a small block v8..now i know anything is possible so im not going to ask that. but how challenging would something like that be. i would need to side mount the engine and would i be able to use the stock transmission in my malibu? im not about to convert to RWD. but besides that and the electrical system and custom fabbing engine/tranny mounts..it's doable?..right?

      Considering that this is the 60 degree V6 forums, this really isn't the place for this discussion....but....
      An adapter for the trans can be purchased from V8Archie.com ....but then you have to deal with the issue of making the electronics work with both the older engine and the newer tranny. If you are insistant on going this direction, I would recommend the LS4 from a Grand Prix GXP (among other vehicles that have it). That would give you what you want, plus limit the problems to mounts and more simple electronic conversions.
