forget the hemi. i hate that engine. there's nothing hemi about it. that stupid MDS crap is gonna be a pain in the ***.

get a 4.7 liter. Ship that engine to have someone throw EVERYTHING on it. That might cost a few grand, but hey, the engine's free. Forget the fuel injection, throw a carb on there. Done. If you're just gonna throw a stock engine in there, why waste the time.

 

naw i want to keep the fuel injection and i really dont have a lot of money to just throw into a motor i just want a v8 in my truck. im tired of the v6.

 

where did you get a free 4.7! but yeah go with the 4.7, its very similar to the 3.7. the 5.7 is too big a difference and youre gonna need a lot of extra work to do to fit it in. plus the 4.7 gets about the same fuel economy as the V6

 

I dont know about the Wiring harness in these trucks , nore do i plan to learn lol

I did an engine swap on 95 grand prix GTP swaped the 3.4 DOHC for the 3.8 supercharged, i had the wireharness custom made, guys pretty good could ask him if he could do one for ya either way you go.

 

well...a carb would be cheaper than a huge computer to manage the fuel injection. a lot cheaper i bet. tuning = turning a screw until it sounds right...not programming a computer to adjust the lean/richness according to the reading of over 40 different engine sensors.

also, if u DO plan on doing this...what are you doing with the old motor?

 

Do you have an automatic or a manual? I've got a 6-speed standard mated to my wimp 3.7L: I'd like to swap it for the 4.7L too. Will it match up with my tranny no problem?

 

well if i do swap in the v8 the v6 im going to get rid of, but i just bought a pistol so im not in any hurry right now to swap it. i have an automatic in my truck and i have no idea if the trannys will bolt up to the v8 im guessing they should but i dont know. please keep me updated if you all find out anything about the motor swap

 

lol...how about YOU keep us updated mr. free engine...

i really wish i could get a free engine. you'd think knowing all the answers to these tiny questions about a motor swap would make me eligible =(
