3100 top end swap

[GPXSS]

I edited the document a bit to read more like a writeup. My info in there was pasted in from an email I sent to a Jbody owner, so I changed it. It also specifically addresses the swap for a Wbody.

Id like to put GM part numbers in there so I'll have to search around records and put them in.

Lorenzo if you're reading this, what application did the heater bypass pipe come out of? I remember it wasnt a Wbody.. maybe a century or something?

Is this the heater bypass pipe that just has a hose hook-up, instead of the pipe leading around the front of the engine? If so, I used the one from the A-body ('96 Cutlas Ciera 3100, I think)...I still have the box at home...I can get you the number.

Yeah its a pipe with 2 outlets, and an air bleed on the top. The drivers side outlet connects via hose to the under-plenum hardpipe, the passenger side outlet connects to the heater pipe that runs back and across the firewall.. its like a split level T fitting.

Got it. I'll get you a number tonight.

I rummaged through the garage last night, but didn't find the box. I remember seeing it in the past coupls weeks while organizing the garage and basement...so it is here somewhere. I'll keep looking for you.
