Hey all

I might get my hands on a LG4 for engine swap to replace my excuse my french.. ****ed 88 (L03 305 V8). Its the only engine I can get my hands on. And its a very good deal.
So people, plz whats the scoop?
easy swap? hard swap?
its TBI right?
so it would just slide right in?!

 

what year is it? It shouldn't be hard, but depending on the year it might be more work for one reason or another. LG4s are carburated.

 

Tas got it, LG4 is carb'd. Swap should be easy enough, I've never done it, but you should just be able to disconnect the computer stuff and go! I could be wrong tho!!

 

hey
well I took my friend over to check it out
its a 82 Berlintta. its pretty cool to tell you the truth.
yeah its got a 305 Carbed V8... ahh
My friend says its pointless to even think about it.
He says its extremely hard to do a swap from TBI to Carb.
he siad I would blow at least another 500-1000 cdn. $$ on just getting it in there..
This sounds a little B.s!

 

I don't think thats true. If it was, why does everyone on here that switches from TBI to carb say they did it to save money??? Something doesn't add up.

 

might as well put tbi on the lg4 long block

and i would not even waste my time with that motor if i were you. BTW about your friend... dont listen to him hes smoking dope

 

well im buying a whole car right?
its $400 bux (cdn) in running condition.
ill drive it for a bit with a temp. license plate.
take out the crap (power windows and such)
and JUNK IT!
yEahhh
I need a engine,
ok he says I should buy this 305 that used to run on propane and just switch everthing from my engine to that one. The engine has high Kilometers on it thou? he says its a better deal
wtf is this kid on?
is he right or not?

 

oh m f'in g*d........please don't listen to him. And he thinks it would be more expensive to chage to carb from tbi? Wow, walk away from him dude, NOW!!!

 

If you have the whole car, it won't be expensive at all. The only time you really run into huge expenses in any swap is when you're missing nickle and dime stuff. Also, swapping to CCC isn't the same as just a regular ol' carb.

Depending on what's wrong with your LO3, why not just use the shortblock from it instead of the whole motor?

And on a side note: it would be pretty cool to have a motor that could run on propane and then switch to gas when you want to make some power.

 

haha
so your saying my friends a dumb ***?
right on I think that to also sometimes, but his dads a mechanic..but sometimes I think he has weird *** decisions about stuff. yeah so you guys are saying Buy the 305 Carbed 82 Camaro and than just swap the motor and use the good parts from the car and stick them in my car?
im thinking of selling my car.. and just using this pos berelintta
hah its 20 years old, no need for emissions!

dudes is it cheaper on Insurance????
to own a Berelintta?
