Month ago i wrecked my TA and then bought a 87 v6 firebird. So i transplanted the whole drivetrain to the 6. It was all pretty easy. Only had to do a few minor things but its easy when you have a v8 car to get the parts from. Heres a pic of the v6 in the car. My buddy put a "V8" in it to give it some class. hehe heres a pic. Ill have a few more pretty soon to show you what the new motor looks like.

 

I am impressed!
Thats what i would like to do also!
I have this v6 with a 2.8 and my friend wants to sell me his gran am with a 305 carburated engine and i am just affraid i wont know what to do as far as the electical harness goes.
So did you have to disable the computer?
How did you solve the problem with swapping fuel injection to carburator?
Thanks.

 

Well I did a 2.8 v6 to 350 swap on my car, but I converted it to carb setup. If you guys want to see some pictures, check out my website.

yeah it is alot easier to have a whole parts car so u can get those pieces you dont think u need when u need it. did that make sense

good luck with it, looking forward to seeing some pics.

 

I found it just as easy to keep the fuel injection, but I think that's just a matter of personal preference. Mcas, that's a sweet looking engine you have there. I read about the B & M megashifter, and you had mentioned something about the original V6 cable not working right. Did you actually experience a problem with it not functioning? The reason I ask is when I did my L98 swap, I never had to change the shifter cable, it bolted right up and works just fine for me.


Add another one to the believers in donor cars!!

 

Yeah mine worked as well.

 

Oh and the donar car is a MUST in my opinion. There were so many small things that you need that would cost you a fortuen in time and probly money to track down.

 

Or a good friend at the Boneyard!!!!
