V8 swap On a V6 Shell Done!!!!!!!!!!11

[1305leo]

Well a buddy of mine has a 04 LS and wanted to swap the engine on it with the 3.9 v8 ,well i finally did it on his and then soon after i did the same swap on my LS i got pic's and a video will post asap!!!!!!!!

 

[dNyce LS]

isnt your car turbo? if so, is it still?

 

[1LoudLS]

is it still?

i would imagine that if the swap was in the boosted car, that with his set up there might not be that much difference, if all of the piping was set up to bolt up to the factory headers, and if the factory exhaust was close enough between the two models, that there shouldn't be too much modification needed for the plumbing to work with the bigger motor, the intake should come very close to the same spot and depending on how the piping was ran, could just clamp up (the MAF and the OEM air box are in the same spot), and the exhaust should be close too ( what are the chances that the two extra cylinders are just add to the front of the motor and it just bolted right up???)

1305leo, why didn't you just go out and buy a v8 to begin with?
And why would your buddy want to put a stock v8 in a v6 shell?
I'd think he'd beef the motor up some.
At least bore it over a lil
And put a cam in it...

Probably cause we have 4 of them and nobody makes any performance grinds

Yeah this is a dohc not a pushrod ohv.

Hot Rod Cam Shafts

Actually, there have been several threads here in the last few years regarding replaced cams. The one, at least, had the cams reground.

That's what I intended to do, but I got a set of cam blanks and will have them cut to complement the turbos.
