TGPilot Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 And as far as your question goes... isnt anything possible? As long as pockets are deep and/or you can turn a wrench and fab what is needed!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RacerX Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Instead of a LQ1, you could be even more different by replacing the L67 with a 3.5 DOHC from an Intrigue or Aurora. Either way, if you make it fast enough, you'll be the ultimate w-body salmon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonyman87 Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 if you had a 97GP a simple 97 dohc will slap right in assuming same motor was in it now if its a 98GP Huge overalling in wireing. you could consider looking at l67swap.com and read the directions in reverse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canada Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Why on earth would you swap in a 3.5? That motor is WAY worse than an LQ1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Why on earth would you swap in a 3.5? That motor is WAY worse than an LQ1. I agree. I actually am waiting for someone to say "Why not swap in a L67? At least then it would be fast..." It would be unique, that is for sure!

THe_DeTAiL3R Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Or you can just buy a 1995+ Monte Carlo Z34, they feel pretty big inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canada Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Your girlfriend feels pretty big inside too......but that doesn't mean she is fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White93z34 Posted March 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Why not swap in a L67? At least then it would be fast.... the idea is to pull the L67 out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfewtrail Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 I'm pretty sure a LQ1 into a 2nd Gen wouldn't be that bad of a swap. Weren't the later motors OBD II anyways? I'd rather V8 swap a 2nd Gen myself, or possibly throw in one of those 3.6 VVT engines if you could. Whatever you do, I hope you're boosting the DOHC or at least doing a fair amount of modifications to it if it's NA. Afterall, 2nd Gens a bit heavier, so you'll end up with a slower W' if you leave it stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sl3196 Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Why would you want to go slower though? If you did a 5-spd some how though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White93z34 Posted March 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 if i can find me a 97' GTP my plan is 96' or 97' DOHC and computer and use the stocker 4t65e. its looking that it ought to be a prety easy swap. all i need now is a 97' GTP with a blowed up engine.

Hmmm... My sister has one (97) with a blown engine that has been sitting for a long time. Needs a new rack though too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitaloutsider Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 I'd just swap the LQ1 in and go to some ClubGP mod day and not tell anyone, and just take people for rides and wait for their expression when the tach gets buried Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digitaloutsider Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Yeah. I've seen it many times. You'll just be lying when you say the motor's stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1138 Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 I'll chime in and say I'd LOVE to see this happen. If I were to come across a '97 GP shell that's probably the first thing I'd do to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Unless the LQ1 was modified, and running faster than most of the GTPs at the mod day, I think it'd be kinda lame, you would definately be shunned a bit IMHO. But a cool project none the less, maybe some GTP owners woudl start to realize the advantage of high flow heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
