synistershadows Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 alright so as it sits right now i have the 3.4 DOHC but i ahve seen a few cars with the 5.0 V8 somehow wedged in them. anyways i was wondering if anyone on here would know how hard it would be to do this transplant? and how much would need to be changed other than the engine and tranny itself?

Crazy K Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 asg 5.0? which is the cadillac 4.1/4.3/4.9 engine rebuilt to ASG's specs. the engine in the caddys weren't very good. I'd stay away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synistershadows Posted July 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 yeah that would be the one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synistershadows Posted July 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 why do you say they are so bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z34Phoenix Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 if you want that kinda power do a L67 swap. you will make more power for the same cost. and will have less problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synistershadows Posted July 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 i more or less want the power and the sound and the fact that i could say yeah its got a 5.0L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White93z34 Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 well you would be able to say that you have a 5L v8 and that you have the sound, but from my understandings the ASG 4.9/5.0 was no more powerful then the 3.4 you already have.

synistershadows Posted July 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 from what their claiming on the site it seems that its comparable to the supercharged 3800 series 2?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z34-5speed Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 How about the 5.3l LS4... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitaloutsider Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 The ASG 5.0 was an overpriced piece of shit. You'd be lightyears ahead swapping in an L67 or the LS4 if you want a V8 that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy K Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 aluminum block, aluminum head, a history of headgasket failure and unreliability. need I say more? I tried 20 different j/y 4.n series caddy motors and all were bad at a yard. FUCK THEM! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synistershadows Posted July 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 well whats this LS4? i havent heard of it? and does it fit ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 well whats this LS4? i havent heard of it? and does it fit ? 5.3 found in the new Impalas, GXP's, etc.... Probably not. Besides the wiring issue, you will have to deal with drive by wire and several other issues. Oh, and the hefty price tag for the engine, transmission, and all of the work.

synistershadows Posted July 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 well the price i can take i ust want it to fit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 The price is probably 5x the value of your car. And good luck getting a bank loan for an engine and transmission that is worth more than the vehicle you are putting it into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synistershadows Posted July 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 bank loan nope i try very hard to stay away from loans this wouldent be happening for a few years i just want to know if it would fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euro Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 it probably wouldn't. I don't think they're close to our subframes, and the wiring would be a mess. Stick with what you have now, or go L67/turbo L36 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synistershadows Posted July 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 i want that V8 sound with the nice power is there anysoulution to my interest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19Cutlass94 Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 i want that V8 sound with the nice power is there anysoulution to my interest? You have an LQ1 right? Buy 4 cams that are very radical and youll get a nice sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synistershadows Posted July 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 lil confuzed radical cams? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19Cutlass94 Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Im not exactly sure what you would need on a cam for an LQ1 ( somehow I dont think its the same as on a pushrod ) but 4 cams ( 2 intake and 2 exhaust ) with a shitload of lift and duration.... hence radical cam.

synistershadows Posted July 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 and i suppose that would create the sound due to the larger timeing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 There was a big discussion about the cams over on 60*. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19Cutlass94 Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 It really has nothing to do with timing. the fact that the valves are open longer and higher, giving more fuel and air per cylinder cycle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synistershadows Posted July 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 yeah i guess but even so how would i mannage to get my hands on something like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
