jimmyfloyd Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 I sent you the number of a guy in the area (not sure how far from you) who has done a lot of these and would be willing to help you out, even help with getting parts at a discount. Give him a call and he can atleast help you out some with some good information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88red4cyl Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 Maybe if I wasn't an unemployed high school senior I'd throw an L67 in it, but with 2K for my insurance and a father who wont let me go all out with it because he thinks I'm "not that good yet". The knock sounds like its def. coming from upper intake manifold, checked the dipstick and it sure looked like oil.(And as usual, nearly no coolant in there, but I'd rather not throw some in since I've been using the "green stuff" ever since I first saw the LOW COOLANT light come on in the beginning of this year. I'm just going to get this done and pray that this 3800 lives up to the reputation of its great brothers. Just put the L36 NA3800 cover on the engine and no one will now the difference! I'm very tempted to just do this in my backyard, I can go to my local library and rent a Haynes(assuming they have the 95-00 Lumina/Monte edition there) If you decide to do it yourself and the library doesn't have the Haynes manual, I can scan in the pages you need since I have that manual..

tornado_735 Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 It just makes it a lot easier. Instead of freaking out at the end because you have an extra bolt.... LOL My grandfather always told me that if you had a bolt or two left over, and whatever you fixed still works, you did a good job. :lol: He tested that theory a couple of times.
