tornado_735 Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 What about the 3800's they put in the base Camaros? Are those the same engines? If so, one of those had to be hooked up a 5 speed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lumina racer Posted June 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 I need to now what do I need to program a prom chip so my trans and wiring harness will work with sc 3.8 that I'm getting this week out of a 98 bonneville ssei Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy K Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 YOU ARE CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING AN EPIC FAIL You should get the transmission that goes with that engine and the wiring harness and PCM. Anything else and you are going to have a lumina shaped paperweight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumina racer Posted June 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 Ok why can't I get a chip programmed to get them to work together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy K Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 you want to run the engine on OBD 1? and how will the PCM (ecm in your case) know whats going on without a MAF? Honestly, I don't think any such chip exists, or can be made. You should convert to OBD II and use the complete drivetrain from the donor. that is what everyone else does.

Andrew Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 despite that it likely wouldnt work, your trans has no chance surviving behind the L67. Might as well get the trans from the Bonne too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy K Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 IIRC: you have to use the mounts used on a first Gen regal with a 3800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q-Ball Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 IIRC: you have to use the mounts used on a first Gen regal with a 3800. 96 Regal with the 3800 series 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lumina racer Posted July 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 If any one can how about a write up on swapping a l67 into a 91 lumina coupe.what do I need to do this and things I need to swap over from 3.1 that overheatd and died Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP4U2NV Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 I can help you..... But, a 9+ page write cant happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP4U2NV Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 1) purchase l67 drop out complete from strut to strut, top to bottom. 2) contact me, to contact "teel" to purchase a swap harness ($300-$400) 2a) May need a complete 99-00 Monte Carlo engine harness. 3) Get the outters of your axles and Ill dig up the guy that makes the axles. 4) Get a 255 walbro fuel pump and install it. 5) Plan for a custom exhaust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White93z34 Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 technically i think he can use axles for a 99-00 lumina/MC at least at ride stock height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1138 Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 The cradle that comes on any L67 I'd imagine wouldn't bolt up to his Lumina. I think any 1st gen Regal with the 3800 can donate that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think any 1st gen Regal with the 3800 can donate that. true... but a 91 cradle should have the mounts for the 96 3800 mounts. no need to replace unless bad....
