Go out the bottom. Get a good cherry picker to lift the car.

Why not just fix the 3.8? What V6 is better then a 3.8? It two weekend worth of work. Installing ANY other motor will mean 100's of hours or work. Also convered car sell for about the same as non-running parts car. There are very few people that will buy a converted cars.
I am not trying to offened you but do you really know enough about cars to calculate driveline angles to install an engine in a place its not designed to be? You do know you can not just stick a motor in just anywhere? If the angles are off even a deg the drive line will damage itself and the car will shake. There are many professional mechanics out there that do not know how to "Set" a driveline correctly in a car. I understand why you can not see how it would cost 5K to convert to and old school V8. You do not understand what is involved. I am trying to be mean its not your fault your just young. What ever you decide to do you will learn from it. I would just like to see you learn and have a nice dependable car when your done.

 

Climb on chair, toss rope over rafter, tie around neck, jump. Problems solved. Gene pool saved.

 

but since im trading it i will be getting a chevy engine

 

Put the original 3.8 in it, it's an extraordinary engine.

 

Doesn't really sound like a Project, More like how to ruin a Car... lol

 

well i would do that but i did get this engine out of a junk yard so a lot of parts are gone and finding all the parts that i need to put into it would be nearly impossible. and yeah i don't exactly know like the exact angle the drive line but that issue i can get my friend for. hes done engine swaps like this before hundreds of times. and ive helped him do about five or six so im sure that i could figure out. seeing how i think the guidelines for the angle or a drive line + or - 5 degrees of straight isn't it.

 

yeah im probably just going to go find a new 3.8 cuz a friend want to buy the 400 off of me for 600 so hey lol

 

Which angle are you talking about? According to GM if your drive shaft angles are off 1/2 of a degree the car needs to be adjusted.

BTW
+/- 5 Deg on a 60" drive line would be a 10" variation at the tail shaft.

Find a wrecked Camaro. You should be able to find a complete car for what you are getting for the motor. Once you sell off all the dulicate parts you have you may end up with pretty cheap motor.

 

wow i really didn't know it was that touchy. but anyways really quick question would i have to change the whole computer if i wanted to put a 5 speed in it???
