GnatGoSplat Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 I now know exactly what engine I want to put in my 89 Cutlass. I only wish I didn't have to wait so long. http://www.newagegto.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=1424&st=0& Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5speedz34 Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 I'm getting a '88 soon to with 150k, and the guy I'm buying it from has a '89 with 310k :shock: . So, don't worry, -Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conley3.1 Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 5.3! Weird. I don't think a w body with a V8 over 5.0 liters would be too easy to drive... Power understeer from hell, probably. Although, the original FWD Olds Toronado had a 385 hp 454. Probably drove like a yacht. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonyman87 Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 those 5.3 or aka 333 haul major ASS the chevy 1500truck with a 333 can wip a 4.6mustang ass allover the road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay3800 Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 I agree, those 5.3's (327) really move out well. My gf's parent's '03 Tahoe feels very healthy. Throttle response isn't near as immediate as my car, but when you get on it it sure flies! I can only imagine what it would do in a W!

rudefyet Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 wasn't there rumors about the Grand Prix going back to RWD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redfox340 Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 wasn't there rumors about the Grand Prix going back to RWD? I read some stibulation that the 2005 Monte Carlo's may be a V8 / RWD powertrain.... But, that's ONLY a rumor... I willing to bet it won't happen. - Erik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conley3.1 Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 Well, first off, there is no way a 5.3 truck could beat a 4.6GT. No way. Not stock for stock. Secondly, the 5.3 isn't a 333 or a 327, it's a 325. And I dont' see why GM would convert the 5.3 truck motor for FWD sedan duty. I think they'd probably make a new V8 engine if they made a FWD prix with a V8. They should just make it RWD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay3800 Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 Secondly, the 5.3 isn't a 333 or a 327, it's a 325. I have the March, 2004 issue of Motor Trend sitting on my lap right now. In an SUV camparo including the '04 Tahoe LT, it lists the Vortec 5300's cubic inch displacement as 327.0. I have seen the same spec in several different places as well.

conley3.1 Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 Well, alright, 327 it is. Does anyone know the CC displacement of the 5.3? i.e. 53** CC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
