Now I remember the biggest turn off for me on the 4th gens was.



How far the engine is buried under the cowl. I was hoping the V6 would at least be pushed forward but working on that thing has got to be a pain.

This is exactly why a top-swap would not work. You'll need an aussie M90 and a few other things. If you can find one of those under $1000usd you're lucky.

It truly wasnt so bad. The plugs on the passenger side are angled forward, the EGR extension is an un gasketed peice so removals are cake. Nice is I had to put a timing chain in and I had a butt load of room to work with. A TT setup would fit perfectly under the hood of the v6's.

I coulda swore the top swap was possible only you have to fab an intake cause the inlet is at the rear of the motor. Remember the 3800 is a 90° V so room opens up on the topend compared to the 60°.

Here's a pic with the L36 the L67 isn't much taller overall then the L36

There is only about 3-4" of room on the backside of the engine. It is not possible unless you do some serious fab work.

Did some quick research the problem isn't the overhead clearance it's the firewall not allowing enough room to run an intake. Turbo would work better in this case. And with the shorter motor it should open space to mount a turbo or two We all know how much the 3800 loves turbos.

twin low mounted turbo's with a priority oiling system would bee thee pristine setup for a v6 F-Body

I can almost taste it now. Gee, thanks, fellas!

I cant imagine it tastets too good.... But it sure sounds good!

yeah, that, I meant to say THAT, yeah, uhhh, sure. lol.

lol. WTF is that retarded wing?

lol if it ever broke down you can pusih it like a shopping cart

CONGRATS RICK!! You deserve it, buddy. That Firebird has been nothing but problems from the beginning.

Speaking of TT 3800 Camaro's, their is a lady over at got3800 with one. Running 11.7 @ 117.

That is awesome! I wish we had cars that could get into magazines.
