yeah im back. some of you might remember the Pontiac engine swap thread from many moons ago, well just pulled it from storage for over 5 years. lol
fairly confident ill finish it this time without getting destracted by life.



mine and my buddies.


on the lift assessing all the CRAP i did about 6 years ago...
got my 12 bolt in and all the rear buttoned up.



got the last of the GFX off, so now i can start filling holes and making it a 91/92 formula


i still have to get all the formula body work over to the shop and get that all on, get my headers coated, paint the new engine, and i still have to find a radiator and fan. oh and then the wiring and put the interior back together... joy... lol..

got the bumpers on my car today. all the GFX is off aside from the pieces on the doors. my windows are down, so i have to get them up a little so i can get to the mounting hardware.

got my subframe connectors done and modified the way i wanted them to fit.. took forever, but got done.

driver side fit even worse... the tabs were stopping it from laying tucked against the floor, those had to be cut off... and the diagnol bar needed to be trimmmed to the proper angle and shortened by almost a 1/4 inch.

pulled my spring isolators out. put some heater hose on the top coil, that droped it a little more than a inch! and now have my 29x10.5 tires fitted...

Looking good, any updates?

Starbug

Who's subframe connector is this that fit so poorly? Or was this a homemade thing that took some trial and error to iron out a proper fitment?

SweetRevelation

most everything done, except for some engine side wiring, interior wiring, top off the fluids, and crank the bitch up!

Richboll

Looks like an interesting build. I'd like to see how it turns out

richkar87bird

Yea I like the Pontiac engine get a few of them wires outta there and it'll be a real nice looking engine bay.

did you make the bracket for the alternator? mines above the power steering and wont fit under the hood. Or is that something you can buy?

Any updates on this one?

been busy with work, life, and purchasing a house latley. still plugging along on the turdgen a bit. but just in my "beer time."

have to hook up my ignition box to power, as well as my fans, wire the nitrous 'noids and figure out something with lining the alternator up with the crank and water pump pulley then it should be running..

heres where the engine bay sits as of now...

thats an old indian adventures drivers side mid mount bracket that i tired out on the passenger side, unfortunately it does not line up.

there is a bracket that people were talking about on performance years forum that relocates the alt to the passenger side like where i have it and it lines up. ill look tonight to see if i can find the link, and that bracket im talking about would work, but its to the tune of $200.. eekk!

Formula_Fire

And dead for 5 years again?

iTrader: (2)

no picture updates, but its pretty much on the back burner as i got busy again at my shop.

i have to wire my ignition box, wire my efan, and play with some accessory brackets to convert to serp belt setup. then toss the interior back in it.

The_Wraith

Based on your swap, would you say there is clearance for the 301 Turbo plumbing?

spdmetl

Does this car still exist?
