I was just wondering, how hard is it to convert a FWD 3800 to a RWD? and what transmission is needed?
What about the exhaust headers from my GN engine... will they bolt on? I bet I could make them fit and turbo it:biggrin:
no they wont bolt on , not sure but i believe they arent close as far as ports and fasteners
Hey guys, I came across this post while looking for info on doing a conversion. I have a 83 GMC Caballero, it had a 305 with a cracked block. I acquired parts from a friend of mine when he restored his 85 GN, an entire front clip which I plan to trade with the front of the GMC. I want to make a Buick El Camino, so I have decided do an engine swap and make it all Buick. I'm thinking a Supercharged 3.8 from a totaled 96 Riv. which I can pick up for $500, I would like to go with a manual trans just for the fun of driving one. I would love to use a 6 speed out of a Camaro/Firebird, but would go with a 5 speed if need be. I know FlintBuick4life was doing a similar swap, I would love to get the info on what you have learned/used. Thanks for the help.
