G8 engine swap results??

Was curious if anyone dropped a Pontiac G8 or a G6 engine (if possible) in their 'Bird and if so what were the results? Did you like it? Hate it? How much work was involved in the swap, etc...

Re: G8 engine swap results??

which g8? they came in a few flavors - 3.6L V6, 6.0L L76, 6.2L LS3. the V8's are your typical LSx type swap, the V6 is a different story.

dont bother with the v6. dont get me wrong, i love mine in the car. however it has an odd pcm (completely different than the aussie version and the camaro) that is not supported by any tuner and probably wont be due to the limited run.
