1991 3.8 motor

i have a mint 3.8 fuel injected motor that i was think of putting in my flatfender, i have the factory 3.8 wiring harness, a bellhousing, flywheel, pressure plate all from a 67, can this swap be done. i hate to get rid of the motor but dont want to invest a ton when i can get a 4.3 for short change, thanks jason.

 

I believe you also would need the correct flywheel or yours balanced to the even fire engine, as I believe yours to be odd fire.

 

About 10 years ago I was on a trailride and saw a flatfender with this swap. It was a 3.8 that had come out of a front wheel drive GM car. I don't know what he had for a tranny. I know that the thing really honked. It had instantaneous throttle response and could spin all 4 tires (33x12.50) with ease. Sorry I can't help you with specifics other than it was pretty cool.

 

i will get a better feal for what i am dealing with when i pull the moter next month, for now i am just getting info. i would like to go to a 420 and since i am runing a divorced 205 i dont mind spending some cash to hook up the motor, sparky do you know or are you in contact with the guys over at novak and have any info on the FWD 3.8's, jason.

 

thanks i will e-mail him and if you find out any more info let me know, jason.
